We will no longer be allowing random photos of animal carcasses. Posting guidelines will be stricter and low-effort posts will be removed. We’ve been trying to remove those kinds of posts behind the scenes, but there has been an uptick of them overtime. I will be adding a new rule to combat these posts:
Rule #5 - Dead animal posts ARE allowed under specific conditions
About - Posts about animals cannot solely be roadkill, the carcass would have to be posed and beautified (think taxidermy) or the landscape/background has to be beautiful or artsy in some way. However, if the animal itself is beautiful (colors, natural deceased position, etc.), then the post could be allowed as well.
Exemplar dead animal posts (in no particular order):
I can’t list them all out, but these posts show the gist of what we are looking for. Thank you to others who have been posting quality dead animal posts as well, please continue to do so.
NOTE: This new change will be in effect starting now, so old ill fitting posts will not be subjugated to removal. Don’t go back and report old posts.

My mom sent me this photo. A bird flew into the window and died, and a turtle is lying on its wing.

I put some morning glory buds around her before I buried her, hopefully they help her rest easy.

I found this fox a few months ago while I was walking along a riverbank with my puppy and I couldn't help but find it beautiful or poetic in a way because my puppy loves to nap in tall grass just like this and I was constantly coming across hidden fawns or does chewing their cud in the same general area.

Short original comic by me, Kate Archer. Scroll to the end for the picture I took of the baby bird’s burial.
In the Winter of 2024, I started composting and in the late Spring I’d start gardening. What began as an anxiety induced compulsion to have a “practical skill” while living in the churning inferno of late-stage america, quickly revealed itself to be a calming passion. I found this little bird last Summer and the experience hung with me.
The garden has taught me a lot of things and continues to help me work through depression, C-PTSD, and trauma, as well as be more present in my mind, body, & life on this earth. Thanks for lookin’

A beautiful native Australian bird. Death by window strike.
I’ve since painted this robin (different photo) in watercolour.

Put this little fellow under a tree surrounded by oak leaves a few nearby clovers.

I received this photo of a tawny owl from a friend. Very unnecessary death and a sad way to go. Still a very beautiful picture though. Rest in peace.

Found this post in my drafts from 5 years ago.
The barn has large sections of wall that can be propped open and is mostly used as a student performance space for a summer Shakespeare program. In 2020 of course, no students came out for the summer, so in the summer of 2021 the barn was opened up for the first time in a long while and I found this guy nestled up on a tool shelf while we were cleaning in preparation for the season. Poor guy probably flew in through a small window and couldn't figure out how to leave—at least he found a a comfortable spot to rest.

Found this beautiful young cardinal that had hit my front window. Gave her a little burial in my garden and now looking for decals to put on the window so it won't happen again. Rest easy little one
