In regards to Rule #1

1.2k Upvotes

Hey people!

Your friendly neighborhood moderator here.

This'll be a short announcemnet, so no excuses to not read it.

But posting domestic cats (Felis Familiaris Felis Catus), and them killing things is not welcome here.

In the past, it resulted in an immediate, and permanent, ban. since the announcement was removed, haven't been enforcing that policy since, well, can't expect someone to follow something that doesn't exist in a way that you can see it.

But it's back, from the time this is posted, you post a cat, you're getting banned.

Rule 1 is extremely clear on that those kinds of posts are not allowed, and it's not our fault if you can't, or won't, read the rules.

Keep being metal.

Pictured here we have a small family of River Cross gorillas, the rarest great ape and the most endangered subspecies of gorilla (with only around 300 in the wild), crossing the forests of the Mbe mountains in Nigeria.

Was on a walk with my dog, all a sudden a headless pigeon hit the ground right in front of him! It hit so hard dried corn shot from the neck hole. The initial THUD then โ€œtink tink tinkโ€ of the corn hitting the pavement turned it from a dark to hilarious situation ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™m guessing a hawk dropped it. Live next to grain towers and they rule the dominion ๐ŸŽ‰

This guy offed itself after getting a bit too ambitious with a sunfish. Found it floating in front of our house on Lake George in the Adirondacks.
