I came across a YouTube short of a monkey being “saved” and opened the account. There are many more videos like it, and it looks like one of those fake rescue channels where the animal is harmed before the video starts
If you go into the comments on the recent shorts you can see people talking about the problem.

The only reporting options I had were harassment and bullying, privacy, impersonation, violent threat, child endangerment, hate speech against protected group, spam and scams.
This channel should be shut down. Given that these channels are an ongoing problem, shouldn’t it be easier to report them? Is there a different place I should be looking?

SWAT is an American special police force, so the discussion would naturally involve America.
The French equivalent would probably be sending in GIGN with a false call. The German equivalent would be GSG9. Austraila would be I think SPS. UK has PSU. You get the idea.
Regardless, “SWATing” is massively overkill and far more dangerous to innocent people than just calling regular law enforcement to report potential animal abuse. Not to mention that it is also illegal.
