    I know I’m going to regret this question but… what happened?

    I didn’t know her much, just saw a couple of her vids which made me love foxes. I just loved how she loved them.

          My understanding is that there were people she knew personally involved, like other rescues as you said, and they spread the harassment through reddit/TikTok. But, we all know how insane reddit can be when there’s a “cause”. It got intense quickly
