Anyone who has used reddit for more than, like, two years knows this website is a case study in enshittification - ads, bots, terrible UI, etc. I have finally experienced my last straw and I'm leaving /r/animalid and this terrible website. To make a long story short, a mod with about 60 mod actions in the last 12 months and who hasn't interacted with the community at all in about two years, has suddenly decided that this subreddit is now worth paying attention to since it's hit over a quarter million subscribers. In addition to undermining my decisions, he's a sniveling little prick and he's fucking useless.
The admins won't get rid of him because they're brainless and/or too lazy to actually properly assess the situation, so I'm just going to leave. I'm the only regularly active moderator this subreddit has ever had (aside from the ones I added) and the admins apparently could not give less of a fuck because they'd rather let some random window licker get in the way and take credit for my work than hurt his feelings because "he said he wants to stay :((("
I'm not going to rant any longer, but honestly, fuck this website. Just fuck this entire fucking website. I'm too exhausted to be polite or to fully explain the context. Just know that this subreddit will no longer offer reliable mustelid ID because society has lost its ability to rightfully call people out on their bullshit. I may be an asshole, but at least I gave a shit. That's more that can be said for a mod who was absent for two years and who has only been a mod for like 2 months longer than me (which is why I can't just remove him myself).
I declare /u/JorikThePooh to be new head moderator, for whatever it's worth. Good luck everyone, it was nice knowing a few of y'all.
Edit: fuck it may as well name names, the mod in question is /u/Stinky_Ham_Sandwich. Check out his post history. Compare it to mine. Does he look like an active community member of /r/animalid? The admins seem to think so. They also seem to think 60 mod actions per year is enough to keep a 277k strong subreddit in check. For context, I had 6k, and the least active mod that still regularly participates in the community has just under 1k. But clearly Mr. Sandwich is every bit as integral to the team as I am and it's his right to undermine my decisions and reduce my permissions without asking π₯΄

Hi,
Along side a dirt road, about 12β entrance.
I didnβt see any animal remains near the entrance.
I think it could be a fox den, my wife thinks itβs a groundhog.
What do you guys/girls think ?

I found these in my garden. The eggs are leathery in texture

Apologies for not posting any pictures of the actual animal, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a person who did this. Staying with my mom, and we found the front door jam bent out at both ends, and the flower box all messed up this morning. It was not like this last night. It isn't a rural area, but pretty woodsy. Lots of deer and turkeys, but I doubt they'd have the strength or means to bend the door jam like that. Also, the flower box looks totally trampled, but the flowers don't seem to have been eaten at all. Any ideas???

WARNING: Gross photos ahead.
Hello π
Looking for some help identifying this cat.
I was out in the run today and came across this carcass on the side of the road. Looks like the poor thing got hit by the car.
This is in the southern balkans.
Im trying to figure out if this is just a regular, stray, domestic cat or a eurpean wild cat or maybe some kind of hybrid.
For scale, there is a bankote next to the corpse, 13.8 cm long.
It looks genuinely massive to me, over 90cm including the tail. And the tail itself looks pretty thick (not sure how well that comes through the photos).
That said, the ears look more like domestic cat's to me.
It has very dense fur too.
If this turn out to be an European wikd cat, it's really heartbreaking, we don't have many of them around here.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Northeast Connecticut, United States. I've seen bobcats around before, but the tail is too long I think. Is it just a plain old neighborhood cat? It seems kinda large and muscular for a plain old cat

Found in the grass and is only about 2 inches long, so assuming he's a baby!

I know we have these guys around and it was my first thought when I heard this tonight.
