There was one "dog rescue" video I happened to click on, and I thought it might be legit. There weren't too many ticks, of different sizes, the ticks were close to the skin under the fur, they were combing the ticks into a can. . .ok, looks like me after my dogs have been romping in the woods. BUT, they were just casually combing the dog (haha, no; it's hard to get the tines under the tick's mouth), when they wiped the ticks off the comb they looked. . .flaky? not squishy like real ticks, there was no blood, and the ticks weren't crawling around in the can afterward. So, that's just weird. I mean, what are people getting out of this? It wasn't even the fetish-y type of video; it was fairly dimly lit and grainy. Do they really get enough clicks on a low-quality video to justify faking ticks? It takes time, money, and effort to glue beans to dogs, ya know.
The internet is a weird weird place.
