The popular YouTube comedy and pranks channel, RossCreations has come under fire from netizens online who have labeled him an animal abuser. People were disgusted by a recent upload in which the YouTuber created a giant slingshot to launch an unsuspecting possum into the air.
The video was posted to YouTube but quickly taken down after the negative response from viewers, (how RossCreations honestly thought it could possibly go any other way is ludicrous). However, somebody had already copied the video and posted one of the more shocking clips to Reddit. (Viewer discretion is advised).
In the clip, Ross is seen watching what seems to be live footage of his slingshot through a nightcam. A possum walks into frame, heading towards the slingshot, “you are going to Mars,” Ross says as the small marsupial crawls into the sling.
The contraption works as intended, launching the furry critter high into the sky. We then see the poor creature land on the ground and slowly walk away. “He just walks away,” Ross says, almost sounding disappointed. Unfortunately, a few of the comments on Reddit speculated that the possum likely died later due to its internal injuries.
The response to RossCreations online
Unsurprisingly, animal cruelty isn’t really tolerated by the vast majority of people. Ross’ own viewers were quick to call him out on this frankly psychotic behavior but soon the rest of the internet was on his tail too.
Underneath the reupload on Reddit viewers expressed their disgust, “How demented is he???” While another wrote, “Hope he gets arrested for animal cruelty.”
While he may have deleted the initial video it also hasn’t stopped former fans and outraged newcomers leaving comments underneath all of his other videos, “Nobody is gonna forget the animal you tortured btw,” one new comment from a video posted last year reads. Another comment from the vlog channel reads, “Ross made me laugh during some very dark times in my life. Sad and disappointing news.”
It seems like most of his fans rightfully turned against him after seeing the horrific content with SocialBlade showing a major drop in the channel subscriber count.
Violence against animals is actually a federal offense so Ross could be ins some serious trouble after his latest stunt. However, so far he has yet to address the situation. While his X account was silent for a few days he posted a video on his account yesterday as if nothing happened. There has also been no news of him being arrested so, unfortunately, like so many Ross will likely just wait for the controversy to blow over and then carry on like usual.
