Raines created a successful YouTube channel dedicated to her advocacy efforts rescuing foxes from fur farms.

Animal rescue activist and YouTube star Mikayla Raines has died by suicide, according to her husband. She was 29.

Ethan Raines announced her death in an emotional video he posted to her YouTube channel on Monday.

He said that for years his wife suffered from various mental health issues and struggled to cope with online criticism.

“She couldn’t bear what she was feeling any longer, and she ended her life,” he said. “And it breaks my heart that someone who is selfless and devoted her life to animals could have so much negativity pointed at her.”

    Unfortunately, it’s just the truth. It’s a strong predictor for death before age 25. Bless you, hope you can learn again and help people in need

          Don’t take the high road when you just said “maybe it wasn’t the online harassment campaign that led to her suicide, but her BPD.” 🙄

            You may want to read it again. That you are angry and hateful does not make others be so as well. It’s just the lens you view your reality under

                    You are being hateful. I concluded that you apparently have a psychosis, correct. None of the premise contains ableism, I am unsure that you understand what it means? Thanks for continuing the journey to discover where your hate comes from.
