Well-known activist and presenter Frank Cuesta, popularly known as Wild Frank, has announced his final withdrawal from social media. The decision, which surprised his millions of followers, was accompanied by a direct and enigmatic message: "I'm not a bad person, but I'll probably end up deported or in jail."
In the last few hours, Cuesta deleted all his profiles on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube, where he maintained constant communication with his community and shared reports about animal abuse, corruption, and illegal wildlife trafficking, especially in Southeast Asia, where he resides.
Although he didn't provide specific details about the reasons for his departure, the tone of the message suggests growing pressure due to his activist work in Thailand, a country where he has reported multiple irregularities and has suffered threats in the past.
"I hope he comes back here to kick ass in the future and that all his projects go well," wrote one of his followers, summarizing the widespread feeling of support and sadness over his departure from the digital world.
Frank Cuesta, a former professional tennis player and self-taught biologist, won the public's affection for his irreverent style and his staunch commitment to nature, unfilteredly confronting mafias and authorities. With programs like Frank de la Jungla and Wild Frank, he managed to bring wildlife closer to millions of viewers and expose animal exploitation from within.
For now, his future is uncertain. Some close friends believe he could continue his conservation projects away from the media spotlight, while others fear for his safety and freedom.
Frank Cuesta's silence leaves a void on social media, but his legacy as an animal rights and justice advocate remains more present than ever.
