Foeke Postma, an investigative journalist at Bellingcat, used fake Instagram accounts to follow people, reverse search images, geolocate pictures, and watch videos frame by frame to identify customers and exotic animal suppliers in Dubai.
The exotic pet trade is a multi-million dollar industry, seen as a symbol of power and wealth. It’s no wonder influencers and celebrities use them as props in their own social media content.
Postma set out to identify various animals through their spots, stripes and whiskers, tracing them back to anonymous individuals who were potentially engaged in the illegal leasing of wildlife. This is how he exposed Dubai’s exotic animal trade via Instagram.
In our series Super Users, VICE World News explores the latest technology being used to fight crime, trafficking, climate change and social injustice.

@harshjeph9577 3 года назад

It's heartbreaking how people like David Attenborough dedicate their lives to educate people about wildlife conservation and these influencers buy animals to show off their status

@jinz0 3 года назад

what do you expect, it's the only way these species will survive, they are extinct in the wild so it's the only way, if you shut them down, even they are bad people you are making the species extinct so you are the real bad person, yea it's different perspective but it's true.

@TheCabledawg1 3 года назад

What's the difference between buying a dog and buying a cheetah. Neither are endangered. The cheetah could potentially have a better life in captivity. The difference is we domesticated dogs 14K years ago. Who's to say we can't domesticate a lion? We look at a dog and think nothing of keeping them in our house. Some dogs are larger than cheetahs.....so why do some folks have an issue with one and not the other.....it's because society has said keeping one is good and keeping the other is bad. Would people have an issue with taking an endangered species into captivity to use conservation efforts to bring them back from the brink? Probably not.

@TheCabledawg1 3 года назад

@@TheWaleedKhalid ..."And the same way we can't domesticate Cheetahs, Tigers and Lions"......But we can and have been domesticating them. Did you mean we shouldn't? That would be society telling us we should not.....but why is it bad? Is is just morally bad or is it any more harmful to the species than what we do to dogs.

@TheCabledawg1 3 года назад

@@TheWaleedKhalid The reason most dogs don't go around in packs eating us is because we domesticated them. Owners of exotic species aren't getting eaten left and right because they too were domesticated. There doesn't seem to be a great reason not to have these exotics other than most people think it's wrong for whatever reason.

so by this logic If having Tigers as pets should be stopped, then same should be done with the Russians and they're bears

@vffvgh6412 3 года назад

Please check the exotic pets of America.. There's almost 10k tigers in American homes.. In the wild its less than 4k tigers.

Unfortunately taking down accounts will not solve this problem as these bad actors will just make new accounts every time. I hope he continues his work but also watches his back as many powerful people probably don’t want him snooping around their illegal business.

This dude describing how any random kid on 4chan can go about doxxing someone as a professional process is pretty amusing ngl I totally respect the intention and the work being done, but what realistically happened is they just made a new account and messaged trustworthy followers/past buyers/potential buyers to follow that

I dont think cheetas are the worst exotic to keep. Its all in how they are kept

@PikaRaichupikapika 3 года назад

How can you be saving the species if you are keeping those species from living in the wild? By keeping these animals you are doing the exact opposite of trying to save them. And it's hard to make wild animal's breed in captivity due to the stress from the different and wrong environment they are in. They may look ok in these apartments/houses but the truth is they need to be kept in the wild where they belong and the ones that are already in captivity need to go to sanctuaries and zoos. When they grow up these animal's are likely to turn on their owners and tbh I really hope that happens to all of them because they deserve it for thinking you could tame a beast from the wild that isn't properly domesticated and still has its instincts from the wild. I hope all of the exotic big cat pet owners illegally keeping these animals in their apartments/condos/houses get the bad karma that they deserve. 666 666 666 666 666 666 666 666

@ascoadia282 3 года назад

Whilst I agree with you completely, if the animals attacked the stupid humans who owned them, the animals would be "at fault" and get put down for attacking and/or killing a human, even though it'd not their fault. It's a lose lose lose situation for these poor animals.

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 america is once again not minding there business in America people pay to watch animals kill each other in animal fights and this man is talking about people paying to buy tigers in dubai 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 i can't stop laughing and he makes a video on vice and investigates like he's the FBI about it as if that's going to stop something 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂 the only thing he said in the entire video that I strongly agree on is that the animals need to be preserved but that's also funny because in order to sell them you have to breed and preserve them or they won't sell and you will run out of product and go out of business so somebody somewhere on 🌎 is clearly preserving them 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
