@mrtreeboy222 Hi, no we don't put every rescue video up, but eveyone one that we make available to the press and supporters via our press centre.

Thanks!

@DunksXD Thanks for the advice! We normally do but the rescue videos now get loaded automatically from our press centre with only a few tags. I've alerted all the team here to make sure they put in better tags!
