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:

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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

    How about if those ads just focused on how happy and healthy the abused animals become once they're taken care of using the money from viewers like you?

    "We rescued this kitty from some man's shoe, but now he's big and haz cheezburgers. Bitches love cheezburgers."

    (video of cat playing keyboard in slow motion)

    "Call now to pledge just 20 dollars, and you'll receive monthly LOLCat pictures of the kitty you've chosen to help, so you can watch him age while he grows."

        You're not serious, are you? Those commercials give me half a mind to donate, but then I wonder where I'm really sending my money and end up wanting to just help out those animals directly instead of with money. Sadly, I don't know how to get involved in that.

        EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions. I'm searching the Michigan Humane Society's website right now.

        I don't know how to get involved in that.

        Step 1 - Go to your nearest animal shelter

        Step 2 - Pick the oldest, ugliest, most fucked-up looking animal in the entire place.. you know, the one that everyone else skips.

        Step 3 - Adopt it, get it all the shots, get it as healthy as you can, and make it as happy as you can for however long it has left.

        Step 4 - When its time comes, take it to the vet and HOLD IT while they put it down. Don't leave your friend to die alone, you fucking bastard.

        Step 5 - Return to Step 1

        It's the oldest, ugliest, sickest of the bunch that turn into the most wonderful friend you'll ever have. It's amazing how much the unwanted ones flourish with love and affection.

          [–]Sparticus2 30 points31 points ago

          sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

          I feel that way because I have never felt anything but love and affection from the animals in my life. I've been able to pet animals that even their owners have trouble touching. Animals are innocent and don't know wrong from right. They might be able to understand why they're being punished, but not when it's something like that. They don't know and they're just filled with confusion. Animals do feel pain and they do have feelings.

          Call me a bad person if you want, but I will never feel the sadness and suffering when looking into the eyes of a child that has lived through a genocidal war and had to live with famine, as I will an animal that has been beaten and left to die. Animals just don't understand. I want to do something but I really can't.

          I'm sure of one thing though; if I ever saw someone hit their pet, or any animal for that matter, in front of me, I would beat the shit out of that person.

          [–]AgileCow 28 points29 points ago

          sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

          because you can see the confusion in an animal's face when it is being hurt, but unlike a human it can never understand the reasoning.

          If you have a genocidal maniac who wipes out populations, the suffering people will at least understand that someone out there really doesn't like their race, and they will know why they are being punished (even if it is a bullshit reason).

          But an animal understands nothing, yet feels the same kind of pain. They become utterly confused

          [–]fourtysevenpointfive 7 points8 points ago

          sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

          Abused children are some of the most confused creatures on the planet. It's because of reasoning that makes it worse. A child's mind can be made to think it deserves the abuse, or that it's somehow their fault. Human capacity is a gift and a curse. To say a starving child will understand that it's because someone hates him, makes no sense what so ever.

          I think the truth of the matter is that it's easier to be apathetic toward people because at some base level, we're all competing. To stand up and act in the face of that is to go directly against the animal aspect of our nature. To live it is to supersede it. A trait found in only a few saints among every generation. Mother Teresa, Gandhi, those types.

          [–]DistinctQuantic 12 points13 points ago

          sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

          I agree with you on that. What really makes the difference for me is that most of hurt and suffering in the world is actually our own fault as a species.

          What about children though? They typically don't have the capacity to comprehend what's going on in this type of scenario either, although an explanation is a lot easier to communicate to a child than an animal.

          Humans are fucked up.

            sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

            There are animals that torture other animals. I can think of one case of a chimpanzee attack on a human that could be considered torture because it seemed the chimpanzee didn't intend to kill but to cause pain and injury. It's arguable though.

                    Foster an animal. Most no-kill shelters are frinkin' full of animals with the crap economy and foreclosure explosion. They need foster homes. Most provide all vet services, some provide food, you get to help a pet that was going to spend an insane amount of time with no companionship, and they get a temporary home, and learn what a loving owner is like.

                    Support spay and neuter programs. Even catch and release ones. They will do tons to ease the feral cat population, and every unwanted puppy is one less home for a shelter dog.

                    Find a local shelter. Volunteer. Move it! :)

                    I've tried, and I'm absolutely worthless. I can't even go to Petsmart because I try to take every animal home. I'm a 27 year old, 240lb male and have been physically pulled out out of shelters because I want to take "all of them" home. I have now excluded myself from all premises which have animals for adoption because it's emotionally painful.

                                        Edit: Alright. So I was mislead on the source of the photo, as was my family friend who sent it. My mistake.

                                        But the photo is actually from the aluminum factory spill that happened back in October in Hungary. Very toxic.

                                        This article explains

                                        My father received an email from a friend living just outside Budapest with the exact photo about 2 days after the spill. This kitten was photographed in Devecser.

                                        No happy ending. Just source.

                                        Edit: Lots of animals were saved. This one was most likely saved right after said photo.

                                        I'm pretty sure the pic is older than that. Tineye shows a Russian blog post wity the pic from June of 2010, 4 months before the spill in October.

                                        EDIT 2: The original seems to be here on flickr, titled, "Flood Victim 1" with the note,

                                        "This kitten was Motherless after the second set of flooding in Hoi An, it took a liking to Charles' foot, fairly certain it wasn't going to live without it's Mother."

                                        A second shot of the kitten is in the same album, here. My heart, it's breaking. :(

                                        Sent the photographer a message. If he responds with more info on the fate of the kitten, I'll be sure to post.

                                        please do, even if you have to make a repost. I want to know what happened to him.

                                          Darn man, these kind of pictures always choke me up...more so then seeing pictures of people suffering...is that bad?

                                          I'm the same way. Something about the inability to explain the circumstances to an animal just tears my heart to shreds.

                                          Me too. I think it's because animals do not feel envy, hate, jealousy or any of those negative human emotions. They don't deserve anything bad. They just want to live.

                                          Cats certainly feel jealousy. It's endearing though.

                                            Me too. I think it has to do with the powerlessness that rips up my heart. The animal is a victim and I can't do anything to help.

                                            Also My subconscious can project itself more easily onto an animal. We tend to give all sorts of attributes to people. Once you've know the joyous affection of a cat or dog, you also know they're almost all just as joyous and affectionate and full of love, can't say that for people. The potential for unimaginable evil is still there.

                                            Humans, for the most part, have the ability to improve their own circumstances. Animals don't always and certainly an infant of any species is pretty helpless.

                                                    There's a fair chance this little guy has a home.

He was concerned and ran forward only to discover this little tiny rat curled up into a ball. Confused, he tapped it lightly with his foot, and it came to life and latched onto his shoe.

                                                                  His heart stopped, he knew this little critter needed someone to love and care for it. He picked it up, wrapped it into his sweater, and drove it to the nearest animal hospital. He was told by a nurse that there was a 3 hour wait, but he pleaded with her to get put first on the list, and showed her what he was holding. The woman almost burst into tears after laying her eyes on the little creature and found a vet on call to help them immediately.

                                                                  This is her today. Her name is Mew, and she just gave birth to her first litter of kittens.

What was not included, however, is that a year after her kittens were raised and given away to adolescent cancer survivors, this same cat was able to repay the Universe for its kindness as one day, while hunting mice along a river, a school bus completely loaded with young children lost its brakes and went sailing off a low bridge into the icy waters below. No doubt all the children would have died if not for the skills this cat learned raising that first litter of kittens, She immediately dove into the water and one by one latched on to each child by the back of their necks and dragged them to to safety at the side of the river.

In south east Asia you come across a shitload of stray cats and dogs. A lot of what you see is really heartbreaking, much more so with the cats then the dogs. I've seen the tiniest of kittens, almost newborns, about to die, shivering in the rain and physically being attacked by other cats, even the mother. When food is scarce, the weak die and in the animal world it is usually the young. At first I tried to help - give them some of my food from dinner but not one would eat it.

                                                                                  But on the good news, when you see the healthy stray animals, you feel happy. Most of the time you will see packs of dogs, all different breeds, running free around the place and playing with each other. It does put a smile on your face.

                                                                                  [–]Samyr 10 points11 points ago

                                                                                  In Mexico very few souls care about animals. I saw stray dogs everywhere. I saw dead dogs wasting away on the side of roads while no one cared and just passed by. I saw animals with broken limbs continue to live out their sad lives as best they could. I also saw dogs get run over and know there was no one that was going to help them, including me, because my family and I were too poor.

                                                                                  But by far the most depressing and traumatic memory I have of an animal is when I saw a small baby puppy whining and wandering the street alone go up to a man who was entering his barricaded house. It looked desperate and confused, and probably just wanted to be comforted. Without even thinking twice, the man turned around and kicked its head with his boot and the puppy flipped in the air and landed on the concrete ground. It cried out and just kept walking the street alone.

                                                                                  I can never forgive myself for not picking it up, comforting it and caring for it. I just stood there, shocked, and stared at the moron that did it before he went into his house. It's been 14 years and I still think about that poor animal and wonder what happened to it. I wish I could go back and change what happened that day.

                                                                                  [–]WE_ID 2 points3 points ago

The dogs looked almost healthy though many were emaciated or had a gimp leg. The cats, however, were always very skinny, had an almost meth-addict paranoia about them, and weren't in view for more than a moment.

                                                                                    My friend was picking up some supplies at a glass shop (probably glass) when he heard a kitty mewing over and over again. He went to look for it and found it in a pothole in the parking lot. It was too weak to get out. So he rescued it, named it Kizmet (sp?) and now the thing is all grown up, fat, and wants nothing to do with anyone, but it never protests if you pick it up and hold it.

                                                                                    By the way, that was the last time my friend ever heard it meow. Now the only sound it makes is like a hoarse monkey chatter at moths.

I don't know whether to thank you for introducing me to Ugly, or to curse the ground you walk on for tearing my heart apart.

Because I seriously started to cry and thought, "Fuck you, Reddit, I'm leaving you now. I can't stand the sad stuff anymore." But now I feel better. :) And upvotes for you!

I was out on my deck when I noticed something weird in the dead-end quiet road area about two hundred yards out. A cat! Now normally in Florida...well, but it was about fifty degrees (i.e. cold in America speak) and the furry ball was going to shiver to death. I leaned out and called 'Hey, cat!'. Cat looks up, sees a human and runs in. The deck had lots of warmness. Mom and sister take the cat to the local no-kill joint. YAY ME!

                                                                                        Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love.

                                                                                        The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner.

                                                                                        Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby, striped type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, and even his shoulders. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. “That’s one UGLY cat !”

                                                                                        All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction.

                                                                                        If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around your feet in forgiveness.

                                                                                        Whenever he spied children, he would come running, meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love.

                                                                                        If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.

                                                                                        One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor’s dogs. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly’s sad life was almost at an end.

                                                                                        As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly, I thought.

                                                                                        Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring.

                                                                                        Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion. At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, try to get away from me, or struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.

                                                                                        Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly.

                                                                                        Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for.

                                                                                        Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful, but for me…I will always try to be Ugly.

I hate seeing something like this and thinking that the photographer just walked away thinking of what a great photo he took and doing nothing. If you see something heartbreaking put down the damn camera and help them!
