(from another post)<br /><br />Bit late, but, if you wanna dig into the rabbit hole more, his active reddit account is Rhamphastid556. He used to be married to Lena Miculek, and ran the Miculek site/channel (1M+ follower guntuber) before a messy divorce, which led to the Jerry Miculek suing him for trademark infringement and misappropriation/fraud. I dived in a few years ago when the toucans were hitting the algorithm, and something always seemed... off... especially with how he always appeared eternally depressed.FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933516474259507968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739199075452821489.post-41015018337054390882022-01-24T12:55:34.066-08:002022-01-24T12:55:34.066-08:00Do Brock cucks not comprehend how ironic it is to ...Do Brock cucks not comprehend how ironic it is to post comments like these?CrypticMemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142419744102684641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739199075452821489.post-35545959864216322732022-01-05T14:52:01.712-08:002022-01-05T14:52:01.712-08:0099% sure they're just him...99% sure they're just him... t222https://www.blogger.com/profile/00914199560298546214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739199075452821489.post-53585240329614099012021-12-27T08:53:20.447-08:002021-12-27T08:53:20.447-08:00Are all these bots just Brock under fake names, o...Are all these bots just Brock under fake names, or does he actually have such a devout cult following?<br />I've never before seen such a ridiculous, immature defense of a YouTube pet owner before.

Theres so much to unpack....<br /><br />1) he UNEQUIVOCALLY is keeping these birds as pets. Which isnt even bad. So I dont know why he's dying on that hill of "they make bad pets". The obtuseness of his rabid followers in not seeing him blatantly manipulating them out of their money to fund his personal hobby. He is NOT a rescue, as his last two birds were hand raise baby purchases. The same way animal shelters don't buy hand reared purebred puppies as "rescues", bonafide animal rescues wouldnt buy them either. Period.<br /><br />2) I find the whole "reaction video to this animal eating XXX (inappropriate food) astonishing. Who watches that and feels good. Fruit Loops?! Really? What educational value is that? And at what expense? <br /><br />3) His Maeve dying video- I felt bad for him. Until I stopped feeling bad for him. Because of his own recount and admissions. And, they were CALCULATED admissions, at that... For example, he noticed her not doing well in the carrier, and panicked to get to a vet. Including driving off an embankment, "destroying" his car (per his claim), and then absolutely no necropsy reports? WTF. Driving insanely and putting yourself, your animal, AND OTHER PEOPLE in harms way is moronic. Creating such a vehicular accident to destroy your car would 100% stress and jeopardize your bird, particularly if you claim it was already stressed and declining. And then the necropsy (or lack thereof). I work in teh animal care industry,. and have unfortunately needed a LOT of necropsies done. I know, in exotics, the common answer is "inconclusive". But it is still an answer given. There is only 1 reason to hide necropsy reports- their findings show your negligence. <br /><br />Unfortunately, Im seeing this to a greater extent with other people keeping Toucans. The LOVE to decry keeping them as pets, all the while broadcasting them as fun pets, as they are absolutely keeping them as pets. I dont get it. You want to be "famous", and have this bird to help you do so- great- do it. Dont be hypocritical. And dump the hubris. These people act as experts, when bluntly, their claims are fundamentally incorrect at best.

And it's way, way beyond Discord. Your low life road side animal circus is known in so many social media platforms for what it truly is. What became of your hoarding video? Realized no one believed you. You're right. We didn't. You are a pathetic loser that perhaps doesn't work for a living. So tell us, how do you afford to live with mommy and take care of all your 30++ hoarded animals? What do you do for a living? How much do you earn outside of social services? You want to play the righteous person that has every right to attack anyone they choose under false premises? Go ahead. Any asshole can make the type of videos you make to try and destroy a person who has never hurt you, has never attacked you and you have never met or spoken with. What's your end game? Destroying a fellow animal lover? Tell me exactly what he has done to you personally that has turned you into the childish vindictive bitch towards him. And if you did destroy his life forever, why would you feel so proud of yourself. Yes, coming from a grandmother. You should be able to see that in my words. I'm no kid.

Go for it. No one is arguing that. She has numerous exotic pets that have nothing to do with toucans. Follow he.Embrace her. Love her and all her animal family that she so loving cares for. But stop listening to her childish attacks towards Brock. She drags up 10 year old recordings about him like she has never grown in her beliefs in what's best for these precious exotic animals. I believe she has but she chooses to attack someone else and post cruel defaming videos (check out how cruel, pathetically ridiculous and juvenile her thumbnails are). Why do you waste your time following someone that has nothing more than hate in her heart. Brock has never attacked Melissa. They have never met or talked. She has never asked him to discuss the issue of owning a toucan. He has never said anything about all the other exotic animals that you own because he doesn't follow you and doesn't give a flying fuck. None of us do. So what, apparently you have an Aracari. Love that awesome bird forever and ever. No one is stopping you. Especially Brock. He only wants people not experienced with exotic not to let that be your first experience owning an exotic bird. Do you ever really take the time to listen to his videos and live streams to hear his message or are you so hung up in producing your trash content that it's more important to lie to to the followers that are hoping you are delivering the truth. You're not. And I feel sad that you live in such a pathetic fantasy world where you need to attack other human beings that have never went on to social media to try and destroy for absolutely no reason whatsoever. What the hell is wrong with your heart and soul. Grow up. When is your mother? Why weren't you raised right??? I'm no kid stupid ass kid talking to you.

You're just mad and there is no justification for it. You and the other Brock superfans keep leaving comments telling me how terrible I am for doing this, immature insults, and whining, but do you know what NEVER happens? You superfans never leave me any actual evidence or facts that refute what I'm saying but you do keep claiming it exists, and now you are saying I'm "assuming" there are no public necropsy results? <br />If they are available why should I ask for them? If you are begging for large amounts of money online they should be posted conspicuously. He doesn't have the decency to reveal how much he is spending, he is just asking for money indefinitely and spending how he pleases. He has used DONATIONS TO BUY A NEW BIRD! Also consider that he did NOT take Maeve to the vet. Consider that he did NOT share the necropsy results with Maeve's breeder who did offer to give him another bird for free if he did so. There are legitimate, hard-working bird rescues that are 501(C)(3)charities that he is funneling funds away from because people can't tell the difference between real rescues and Youtubers who don't want to work.<br />My posts are chock full of referenced, irrefutable facts and research and you people behave as though you are trapped in a cult. Pathetic. Brock can do no wrong--it's ME who will always be wrong--even though he uses your donations to buy a new bird in front of your faces, one that he doesn't even have enough space for while Beatrix languishes in a stressful environment. All this and you want to focus on the necropsy because you're desperate to find something, anything, to trip me up to keep your faith in him but deep down you know it doesn't exist.<br />If you think he would even respond to me, you're crazy. He has superfans on his Discord kick people out who question him in any way. I'm sure you know this. You think I'm being "unfair"? Lmfao.
