DOG RESCUE TROLLS AND HOW TO SPOT THEM

A FACEBOOK RESCUE TROLL IS EASY TO SPOT WHEN YOU ARE AWARE OF THE SIGNS.  HERE ARE A FEW SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE GETTING YOURSELF INTO MORE THAN FOCUSING ON THE DOGS WHICH IS WHY WE ARE EVEN INVOLVED IN FACEBOOK RESCUE,RIGHT?

1. A FACEBOOK RESCUE TROLL WILL FRIEND YOU IN AN ATTEMPT TO CONTROL YOU. THAT IS THEIR MAIN OBJECTIVE.

2. THEY FIRST GAIN A LEVEL OF TRUST BY MAKING YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE VERY ACTIVE IN RESCUE. 

3. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THIS PERSON IS ALWAYS ON FACEBOOK. THERE ARE GREAT NETWORKERS WHO ARE ALWAYS ON FACEBOOK,BUT YOU WILL NOTICE THAT  THEIR TIME IS SPENT FIGHTING VARIOUS TARGETS. 

4. THE TROLL WILL START TO CONTACT YOU TO WARN YOU ABOUT OTHERS. THEY MAY ADD YOU TO PM'S THAT SEEM TO BE FOCUSED ON WARNING OTHERS. THE PERSON THEY ARE WARNING YOU ABOUT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT IN THE GROUP TO DEFEND THEMSELVES OR SHOW FACTS TO DISCREDIT THESE ACCUSATIONS. BUT THE SEED HAS NOW BEEN PLANTED. 

5. YOU WILL NOTICE A TROLL ALWAYS HAS A GROUP OF BULLIES THAT HELP THEM CARRY OUT THEIR ATTACKS AND SLANDER AND REINFORCE THEIR LIES AND GOSSIP. WITHOUT THESE FELLOW HARASSERS THE TROLL WOULD NOT BE AS EFFECTIVE. 

6. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT YOU WILL FIND THE TROLL DOES NOT HAVE GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT. AN EMPLOYED INDIVIDUAL WOULD NOT HAVE THE TIME TO DEVOTE  TO SUCH DESTRUCTION.

7. YOU WILL NOTICE THEY HAVE DNR/DNA BLOGS TO REINFORCE WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR TARGET. WHAT YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IS THAT THEY THEMSELVES HAVE CREATED THESE BLOGS TO VALIDATE WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. IF IT IS IN WRITING IT IS TRUE RIGHT?

8. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A TROLL BY THEIR VERBAGE. THEY OFTEN   

USE THE TERMS "SLINGER" SCAMMER" "DOG FLIPPER" TO DISCREDIT THEIR VICTIMS. 

9. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THE TROLL YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME TERMS WHETHER IT IS TRUE OR NOT. 

10. THE TROLL IS CLEARLY BULLYING AND USES ANIMAL RESCUE AS THEIR EXCUSE TO ATTACK. YOU WILL SEE THEM CARRYING OUT MULITPLE ATTACKS ON MUTIPLE PEOPLE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. 

11. THEY ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO NOT VERIFY THE STORY AND TO ONLY LISTEN TO THEIR SIDE (CONTROL FACTOR) SO THEY TELL YOU TO BLOCK INDIVIDUALS. THIS TACTIC WORKS VERY WELL FOR THEM AND FURTHER ISOLATES YOU FROM KNOWING THE TRUTH WHICH IS NOT WANT THEY WANT YOU TO HEAR. ASK FOR PROOF OF THE ACCUSATIONS AND A SCREENSHOT SHOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT AS THEY ARE WELL KNOWN TO FABRICATE EVEN THOSE ITEMS. CONTACT THE PERSON IN QUESTION AND DO YOUR OWN INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE THE TRUTH. IT'S COMMON SENSE!

12. OFTEN TIMES PEOPLE BLINDLY SUPPORT THEM NOT REALIZING THEY ARE STALKING THEIR VICTIMS AND DOING THINGS TO THEM SUCH AS USING GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES TO DO THIS, SPOOF CALLING THEM, STALKING THEIR HOMES, CREATING BLOGS ON THEM,ETC. THESE ARE THINGS THAT ANY NORMAL INDIVIDUAL WOULD NEVER FIND TO BE ACCEPTABLE SO THEY DO NOT TELL YOU THEY ARE DOING THIS.

13. THE TROLLS HAVE AN UNSATIABLE DESIRE TO CONTROL. YOU WILL FIND THEM ON THREADS LECTURING,CAUSING DRAMA ON THE THREADS AND BADMOUTHING OTHERS IN A SERIAL MANNER. IT MAKES THEM FEEL IMPORTANT AND WORTHY AND IS PROBABLY THE ONLY CONTROL THEY CAN PROCURE IN LIFE.

14. UPON INVESTIGATING OUR TYPICAL TROLL,WE HAVE FOUND THEY ARE UNDERACHEIVERS OFTEN WITH CRIMIMAL PASTS. ON FACEBOOK THEY CREATE A PERSONA OF GREATNESS THAT CAN EASILY BE UNCOVERED BY INVESTIGATING THEM YOURSELF. 

15. IN A TROLLS SMALL MIND SOMEONE IS ALL BAD OR ONLY GOOD. BE SMARTER THAN THAT. THEY ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO NOT SEEK OUT THE TRUTH TO CARRY ON THE LIES AND GOSSIP THEY ARE SPREADING.

16. THE FACEBOOK TROLLS OF RESCUE HAVE SEVERAL DOZEN FAKE PROFILES EACH. THEY USE THEM AS REAL PROFILES MASQERADING AS REAL PEOPLE TO SPY AND REINFORCE THEIR LIES AND SPREAD THEIR HATE.ALWAYS REPORT EACH PROFILE THAT FRIENDS YOU AS A FAKE PROFILE SEVERAL TIMES TO VERIFY IF IT IS REAL. THE PERSON WILL NOT KNOW YOU HAVE DONE THIS AND IT WILL HELP YOU KEEP REAL PEOPLE ON YOUR LIST. ITS NOT FOOL PROOF AS WE KNOW THEIR ARE NOW FAKE IDENTIFICATION APPS THAT ALLOW PEOPLE TO VERIFY THESE ACCOUNTS. CHANCES ARE YOU HAVE A FEW FAKE TROLL PROFILES COMMUNICATING WITH YOU NOW. ALL SOCIAL MEDIA TROLLS 
USE THIS TACTIC.

17. TROLLS HAVE VARIOUS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND MANY ARE SOCIOPATHS WITH NO BOUNDARIES. STAY CLEAR WHEN YOU SEE THE RED FLAGS AND BLOCK THEM. 

IN SUMMARY ONE CANNOT AVOID TROLLS AS THEY ARE ON EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA FORUM USING THE SAME TACTICS. BUT YOU CAN BE AWARE AND NOT BECOME A TROLL YOURSELF. PEOPLE WHO HAVE A NATURAL NEGATIVE OUTLOOK ON LIFE TEND TO LEAN TOWARDS THE TROLLS AND THEIR UNETHICAL WAYS. ONE MUST ASK YOURSELF IF SOMEONE WHO CAN TREAT OTHERS SO HORRIBLY CAN TRULY BE A COMPASSIONATE ANIMAL LOVER AS THE TWO CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER. LOOK PAST THE MASQERADE THEY USE AS PROTECTING ANIMALS AND ASK YOURSELF IF A GOOD PERSON OR TRUE ANIMAL ADVOCATE WOULD BEHAVE THIS WAY AND WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHES. THEY ARE SEEKING A NAME FOR THEMSELVES  
BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS FOR VARIOUS REASONS,WE WILL COVER IN A LATER BLOG.
TO COMBAT THIS ALWAYS REACH OUT TO THE PERSON IN 
QUESTION.THERE ARE OTHER GREAT RESOURCES TO CROSS REFERENCE TO UNDERSTAND THAT TROLLS ARE IN EVERY FACET OF SOCIAL MEDIA. THESE PARTICULAR ONES ARE USING ANIMALS AS AN EXCUSE TO BULLY.
