Default H. lividum abuse on youtube >_<

Ok so I own a lividum and every so often ill look up related videos on youtube as im sure most of you probably do?

So ive been looking at the less popular videos today with views in the hundreds and ive come across at least 6 videos of people just stressing the hell out of their T's for no damn reason, a couple of these videos have THE most unsuitable enclosures too

it just completely f***'s me off, ive started flagging them down as animal abuse, hopefully theyll get taken down.

To me its like the equivalent of repeatedly kicking a dog, that might sound a bit extreme but T's are fragile and dont need some tard prodding them because they're bored with their purchase

I totally agree with you!

If you want any T you must provide it with the most suitable conditions for it's species.

It is animal abuse!!! There are some nasty people out there who don't deserve such creatures

I know, its such a shame to see such beautiful little animals getting stressed when theres absolutely no need for it
So many people buy them just to poke about and show off to their mates.
poor ts

That jaaa...aaay persons videos are brilliant.

Totally agree with OP, sick to death of spider poking videos, I also flag them as animal abuse. There is just no need for it.

Im sure when we all first got our T's we tried the tongs to see if it would bite, not nessiserily poking them but still. The unsuitable enclosures i agree with.

People poke them to piss them off... Don't keep them properly. One person somewhere sticks an avic juve in the bath to watch it swim!! Poor thing.
