"He's like, 'Is this bad?' I was like, 'Yes': Maya shares details about the conversation she had with Ludwig

Maya was 32 minutes into her broadcast when she mentioned that Ludwig wanted to hire a bear for his livestream. She added that the YouTuber sent her a link to the company's website and requested her feedback:

"He sent me the link, and he was like, 'I wanted to do this bit, but I want to run this by you first. And he's like, 'Is this bad?' And I was like, 'Yes.'"

The Twitch streamer described the website as the "craziest red flag" she had ever seen:

"The site was the craziest red flag I've ever seen. You know what? I'm just going to show you. I don't really care. I'm just going to show you. Look at this site. First of all, yikes!"

Maya showcased that the company rents exotic animals such as jaguars, leopards, elephants, tigers, and monkeys. She then shared her thoughts on the situation and stated that animals should not be used as props:

"The animals should not be used as props or commodities. You should not be able to rent exotic animals. There are so many situations, like, it's so unfair to put these animals into situations like that, where they're at a party and, like, being used as a prop and they're dressed up and blah, blah, blah. Just like, really sketchy and... straight exploitation of these animals."
