When their programs stopped being issued, it was installed on the Internet, and from its animal sanctuary in Thailand, a drift that has culminated in a disastrous way began. It has been with audios that reveal a face as an animal abuse that has definitely put a public image that had been awakening doubts for years.
Conflictive audios. Earlier this week some audios were leaked in which he referred to animals of the sanctuary aggressively (“we must have delicatas, which people like Suricatas whores.”), Among other animals that he acknowledged having bought for sale. I also talked about poisoning cats (“I’m going to make a mix of cat food with poison to eat the son of a bitch and burst inside. (…) If you have a cat, you keep it at home”) Already dogs (“I will put poison every fucking days until all the fucking dogs die (…) I will load them all”) that entered the sanctuary.
The audios have been Filrated by his exsocio chi wildlifewith the purpose of uncovering little ethical behaviors of Cuesta. He also spread images in which the bad state in which animals such as pig or otter were seen, or told stories about the replacement of dead animals with similar ones to maintain the attention of their YouTube followers.
The defense. His team has defended the audios talking about a passenger anger in the context of audios for a friend. Frank Cuesta has defended himself in a video in which he cries before the camera and that he has already retired from his networks stating that all he did was put laxative for dogs and cats not to approach the sanctuary. But as They have pointed out several of His criticsit is not only an improper behavior of an owner of an animal sanctuary, but also adds to a long trajectory of controversies and conflicts.
The tip of the iceberg. The filtration of these audios is the last episode of the fall in disgrace of Cuesta in recent months, but it has not been the most serious event that has had to happen: it was recently bitten by a spit copperwhich put him on the verge of death. Before that, in 2024 He had suffered the onslaught of a deer that broke two ribs and contact with a poisonous frog. But his most controversial moments are those that imply problems with justice: he has to respond to Three demands of his ex -wife and was arrested by the Possession of protected animals.

Other content creators, such as Rome Gallardo either Hetero white uncle They have also positioned themselves against Cuest Dalas Review.
Success on television. The success came to Frank Cuesta after the program ‘Callejeros Travelers’ interviewed it for a delivery set in Thailand. His knowledge about reptiles gave him the opportunity to drive his own space, ‘Frank de la Jungla’. With him he obtained a wave, and continuity with the program ‘La Jungal at home’, shot this time in Spain. He would still make a third series with four, ‘Natural Frank’, before moving on to Discovery Max with ‘Wild Frank’, which he recorded 17 seasons.
A presence on YouTube. Although Frank Cuesta has obtained his fame primarily from the almighty television, it has been with the YouTube accounts that he has managed since the late last decade where he has shaped a peculiar Fandom. The first construction of an animal shelter and after a Sanctuary away from Thailand For animals that do not belong to that same environment, it has kept their followers hooked on materials on animals, although it currently costs only the channel dedicated to the Libertad Sanctuary.
The accounts of your channel. Frank Cuesta de YouTube channel has 4,150,000 subscribers. Virtually all its content is paid: direct, streamings and private webcams that reflect the day to day in the sanctuary.

Political positions. Meanwhile, their political positions have been radicalized: He aligned with Vox In 2022, launching inconvenience statements, although later It was distanced from the game behind him Violent behavior of Ortega Smith. This positioning, which has intensified Over the yearsthe opposition of progressive sectors won him, also very critical of his peculiar way to face animal care.
An uncertain end. All this (mainstream success, problematic channels on YouTube, radical political positioning, abundance scandals) are the ingredients of a cocktail that seems to have ended up exploding with the publication of the audios. It is significant that many of the creators of content that criticize him, as some of those mentioned above, usually invoice content aligned with conservative positions: they are the same as months ago they defended their content for that same reason. A true polvorín that still smooths: we will continue to talk about Frank de la Jungla.
