Facebook can be powerfulābut also risky so just be aware if you run a business page.ā Pros:It gives you reach. You can connect with followers, supporters, donors, and customers instantly.It's great for storytellingāsharing rescue stories, art, videos, and updates in real time.If your content gains traction, you can grow fast through shares and recommendations.It supports community-building, which is priceless for someone who pours heart into rescue and memorial work.ā But hereās the downside:Violations are inconsistent and often unfair. People get flagged for their own content, or for using features Facebook offered (like reel music)ājust like youāve experienced.Thereās little to no customer support. Once something goes wrongālike monetization getting removed or a shop being taken downāitās nearly impossible to reach anyone real.Youāre not in control. They own the platform. If they decide to disable something or change the rules, you have no sayāeven if it damages your business or work.Algorithm changes hurt creators. Sometimes people stop seeing your posts, even your most loyal followers. … See MoreSee Less
š£ Just a quick note from me personally:I know some of you have asked why I donāt directly share certain videos or have a shop checkout on Facebook anymore. The truth isāFacebook has become very strict and unpredictable with its violations.Iāve even received violations for sharing my own music video, with Facebook claiming it wasnāt mineāwhen it clearly was. And when I use music they suggest in reels, they still turn around and flag it.Because of all that, I had to shut down my online shop feature here. When a platform controls your business like that, they can shut it down without warningāand unfortunately, it's no longer easy to get in touch with a real person at Facebook to fix anything.So if you see me post a link to someone elseās video (instead of sharing it), itās not an accident. Iām doing it to:1ļøā£ Give the original person proper credit2ļøā£ Protect this page from unnecessary violationsUnfortunately, even this doesnāt completely protect the pageābut Iām doing my best to stay cautious while still sharing what matters. Thank you for understanding šWhile Iām still grateful for this platform, Iāve learned to be cautious. Thank you for understanding and continuing to support what I do š¾š« A word of caution about Facebook for anyone running a small business or rescue page:Facebook can be a great place to build awareness and gain followersābut donāt rely on it for your entire business. They can shut you down at any time, with no real explanation and no one to talk to.Iāve experienced violations for sharing my own content, using music they offered, and even had to shut down my shop here because of it.ā Build your customer base through your own website.ā Use Facebook for connectionābut lead people off-platform for purchases, support, and important content.ā Ads are fineābut make sure they guide people to your site, where youāre in control.Learn from what Iāve gone through. Protect what you're building. … See MoreSee Less
We are so heartbroken over the loss of Chris šš„ Watch the video Chris recorded 11 months ago:š youtu.be/6JifeAEx_88?si=JfJGFkmYUQa2HOhWThis video speaks volumesābecause in it, he shares his heart so clearly. He was never afraid to call out what was wrong, even within the rescue community. Chris saw how damaging gossip, slander, and jealousy could be, and he addressed it with truth and love.He even mentioned some by nameānot to cause conflict, but to call out behavior that was hurting others. Chris always stood for what was right, especially when it came to protecting animals and the people who truly cared for them.What stands out most is how openly he spoke about Lisaāhow much he loved, respected, and adored her. He talked about how amazing she is, how much she does, and how deeply he appreciated her. That kind of loyalty and trust says everything about their bond.He truly loved animals with all his heart. You can feel it in every word. He also took time to thank peopleābecause thatās who he was. This man was genuine. Kind. Honest. And full of heart.Anyone coming against who he loved is going against him. This video is the proof. People can twist stories and try to rewrite history, but Chris's voice still speaksāand no one can take that away. š¾šš£ Quick note: I wish I could share the full video directly, but Facebook has given me violations even when I posted my own original music or used music they suggested in reels. Thatās why I now post direct linksāto give proper credit and keep my page safe. Thank you for understanding. š … See MoreSee Less
