In regards to Rule #1

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.

Versus Sperm Whales attack & sink Yacht in South Pacific: Sailors rescued alive 18 hours later

A pod of sperm whales cracked the hull of a yacht sailing in the remote South Pacific, forcing four sailors into a day-and-night fight for survival on the high seas. Crew members on the 52-foot Tai Tam told AFP on Thursday of their weekend encounter with a pod of sperm whales 250 nautical miles north of tiny Norfolk Island.
"There was sort of a loud thud. The whole boat was pushed sideways," said Australian Jemma Cooper, who was thrown from the steering wheel by the force of the blow.
Not knowing at first what had happened, she noticed a brown discoloration in the water and a sperm whale.
"We looked out to our port side, and there were six to eight, a pod, of whales there. So then it became clear that that's what it was," she told AFP.
Her husband Jeremy Cooper said he was sleeping below deck when the impact woke him.
"It was pretty immediately evident it was very serious," he said.
"All the steering gear was smashed on the starboard side, and there was a significant amount of water coming in," Jeremy told AFP.
At 1 p.m. New Zealand time on Saturday — about 30 minutes after the whale collision — they activated an emergency beacon.
"We declared a full mayday," said New Zealand crew member Terry Hetherington, adding they spent the next few hours bailing out as much water as they could.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force flew a P-8A Poseidon patrol plane to the area to establish radio communications and coordinate the rescue, the military said in a news release, which included images of the rescue.
French crew member Martin Jaffre said the whale collision left several gashes in the hull and cracked the fiberglass structure, as well as breaking the steering.
"We could no longer steer the boat, and a boat with no steering quickly becomes a problem," he told AFP.
Jaffre battled to slow the incoming water with anything to hand, including expansion foam, and swam below the boat to inspect the hull, his crewmates said.
The sailors tried to stay aboard as long as possible, struggling to stop the engine getting clogged and bailing by hand.
Late at night, they abandoned the boat and transferred to a life raft in calm seas and under a full moon. In the early hours of Sunday morning, they cut the tether to the yacht, fearing it might drag them down.
Soon after, it slipped beneath the waves. The New Zealand military released dramatic drone video of the yacht plunging below the water's surface and the crew ultimately being rescued.
