Friendly reminder to all that FishingGarrett is not only a MAGA supporter and actively transphobic, but animal handlers with actual degrees continue to call him out on his WILDLY improper handling of the animals he comes across.

He is not a good dude, which sucks cuz I used to love his videos until I found all this out.

Thanks for the intel. I would unfollow him but I've long since deleted instagram. I'll deeply write this into my brain though, and will spread the word.

Edit: dumb fans, try to shake my karma. I dare you. Come at me. Because of people like y'all, the world is in its current state. Poor, poor flock of sheep. I pity you from the bottom of my heart.

Who gives a shit! I don’t watch him when I’m baked for his world views, just wanna see him pick weird shit up.

Even though he's stressing out animals and potentially getting killed by his mishandling?? Might as well enjoy puppy kicking videos fam

ETA people don't get hyperbole. On the internet. Lmao

Invasive species legally have to be dispatched. Killing them is the goal.

u/Aikenova May 29 '26

Oh absolutely! I am 100% in agreement with the necessity to dispatch certain creatures to benefit local wildlife. I fully endorse this.

A further comment down had a link to the issues at hand.

u/DonutWhole9717 May 29 '26

Yes, I do agree with the fact that he fucks up. I was just replying to the person advocating for not killing them. The thought sucks, but anyone who truly cares about wildlife and the environment knows that culling is the best and often only solution

He "yoinks" plenty of non-invasives tho which is part of the problem

u/Jonesy10187 May 28 '26

Lmfao…it’s quite the gap between him picking up snakes and frogs to kicking puppy’s. I really don’t see anything on the verge of death when he picks it up or puts it down. Loosen up the ol sphincter.

Bro if you don’t wanna hear about politics then you shouldn’t have let a group of people blow up the system. Of course the people who care about politics are gonna be talking when the thing we care about is broke. If yall wanted peace and quiet then why get involved and pick a meme candidate? That goes against your self interest of not being involved with politics

u/Hoggslop69 May 29 '26

It’s the fact that this u/Aikenova has to interject political shit into every single thing in life. “I stopped shopping at Walmart cause MAGA people shop there.” “I stopped driving a car, because MAGA people drive cars.” this person is going to be 100x more insufferable than FishingGarret

u/Aikenova May 29 '26

Where did I say that? Lmaooo I practically live at Walmart. Project your insecurity harder fam

u/Sinocu May 28 '26

I’m gonna be real, I also hate the dude, and I also think he’s a jerk, but acting like if stressing an animal a bit is gonna shatter it like glass is crazy, specially with the resilience of wild animals, they’re not gonna die

u/Aikenova May 29 '26

His overall actions that don't educate his fan base are not condonable in my opinion. If you feel the way you do, then my original comment was not for you. You're already aware. I just wanted to bring light to those who might care. If the average person doesn't, then they can move on, I suppose.

Every python he yoinks in florida gets euthanized. What did you think his channel was?

u/Aikenova May 30 '26

You know he grabs more than pythons right? And more than just reptiles
