In regards to Rule #1

1.0k 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.

When this hare died he was on dry land, but since winter rolled in the rains took charge and changed it into wetland. It's been pretty cool seeing this little guy go through his decomposition under water!

Filmed this in my front yard at our bird feeders, can’t upload the video here though. But I thought it was cool! We have 18 bird feeders (seeds, suet, etc). But I guess this Chickadee liked the taste of Junco! Winter is a rough season for all critters, and they gotta do what they can to survive!!

Snowshoed 10 miles today and most of the trail was full of these bloody moose tracks. I’m guessing one of them got cut from the hard ice after post holing and is just trucking along like a champ.
