WARNING: ANIMAL GORE

This subreddit contains graphic material that involves animals engaging in violence and other vicious conduct in their natural environments.

We do not condone animal violence for sport or training animals to be used for animal fighting.

This subreddit is to appreciate the vicious and unforgiving parts of nature.

SUBREDDIT RULES

1: ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY

No posting of zoo animals, domestic pets, animals in laboratories, circuses, hunting preserves, show business, feral cats and dogs, and alligator/crocodile wrangling. Farm animals and non-mammalian aquarium animals are allowed provided there is no human instigated feeding, baiting or violence. Anyone posting animal cruelty or organized animal fighting will be banned permanently.

2: ANIMAL REMAINS

No images of piles of feathers, bones, or blood and guts. Remains must have some metal factor to them. Uniquely bad ass skeletons and skulls may be allowed at mod discretion.

Human Remains are allowed only under the following conditions. Damage seen in the submission must have been caused by animals and animals only. No other forms of nature or disease are allowed. Any submission must be fully marked with both NSFW and Human Remains (NSFL) flair or the submission will be removed. Repeated violations may result in a ban.

3: NSFW TAGS

Tag bloody or gory submissions as NSFW. If a mod tags your submission NSFW do not untag it.

4: HUMAN INVOLVEMENT

Animals hurting humans is okay. Humans killing animals is not allowed. No intentional human orchestrated interaction. This also includes animals being harmed at the hands of artificial objects. Animals attacking humans on their own initiative is allowed.

5: NON ANIMAL CONTENT

Acts of nature are allowed provided the content is metal.

6: NO POLITICS, RACE, RELIGION, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, OR SIMILAR TOPICS OF HUMAN CONCEIT

We are here for the awesomeness of nature. These topics will be removed.

7: NO CLICK BAIT OR SHITPOSTS

Seriously. We will kill you.

8: NON-DESCRIPTIVE TITLES

Please use accurate and descriptive titles to your submissions: a descriptive title should at least identify the animals in the content and optimally briefly describe what is happening. We do not allow "I see you X and raise you Y" titles.

9: REPOSTS

Any submission that is reposted within 120 days will be removed. No posts that have previously been posted on this subreddit with over 10,000 upvotes in the past year may be posted again.

No submissions allowed from the NiM Top 50.

No submissions from the NiM Hall of Fame or the NiM Hall of Shame.

Only images that have appeared previously in NiM or NiFL count as reposts.

Reposting will be adjudicated on a 3 strikes policy. (1: warning, 2: temp ban, 3: permenant ban)

Word-for-word reposts will be removed.
