Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

No, that's how outdoor cats are destroying the native bird populations. The bird was protecting its nest. Now it's dead and so are its babies.

Technically, the owner of the cat could be charged with a misdemeanor and fined with up to $2,000 and/or up to 2 years in jail under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The fact that this law is more rigorously enforced is depressing.

Well.... while I agree with what you're saying. It's debatable whether mockingbirds are migratory. If they move at all seasonally, it's all over the place.

[–]disgruntledflier 1 point2 points ago

Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, basically anything that is non-game and native is protected. The technicality that a particular individual, or even a species (or subspecies) is nonmigratory is moot. Also, defining a migration event is challenging (e.g., is it dispersal, migration, seasonal movement, etc.). Finally, while we may be able to use techniques post-hoc (e.g., deuterium analysis of the feathers/tissues) to determine if an individual was migratory that is a bit excessive and the law was intended to protect species that were being decimated from feather hunters that went into making hats for ladies fashion. So you can debate until you are blue in the face, the fact is that that bird was protected. There are of course exceptions to the MBTA for farmers, ranchers, and destruction of property in general that you can get exemptions, but I suspect that no one obtained a license to kill that bird. As such, the owner is responsible for the pet, and thus is can theoretically be charged with a misdemeanor.

You fucking kidding me? The original video was posted less than 24 hours ago. http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/ggltj/whoa_he_caught_it_wow/

What's wrong with making a gif out of the video? Yeah karma and all that but really.

  1. No sound
  2. No source
  3. No additional information
  4. Relatively longer loading times
  5. No pause/seek
  6. Abysmal quality/compression artifacts
  7. That stupid watermark
  8. Duplicate submission and it's straight karma whoring.

Fuck the OP.

That is actually sad, that bird was probably protecting its nest of babies and the mother died in the process.

Well, that's life man.

Let us all take a moment to remember the bird, and this truly, truly sad event.

That is actually awesome, that cat was probably raising it's litter of kittens and the mother caught some kitten food.

The bird was probably distracting the cat from its nest. It is quite a successful strategy. It doesn't work every time.
