TW: death / animal death

I have not only a little Christmas story for you, but also a continuation of “Black Cats”. Because I don’t want to leave you sad for the holidays, you’ll get to know Reaper’s secret little helper. Even the cold can harbor so much goodness. I wish you a wonderful time. WEBTOON

SOGGY MY BELOVED 😭🐶

INTRODUCING....

Smoggy is the ghost fog dog!

His ability is a revival and magnetic and can fetch some heart stamina jelly and makes speed stamina jellies! Smoggy belongs to Y/N Cookie and Smoggy knows Y/N before they have amnesia. Smoggy have mobility wheels before he is alive. Smoggy can walk right now when he became a ghost.

And yes Smoggy is dead.

You said Hunter before has keener senses and a little more animalistic and even hunts. I have no clues if wolves exist in Connecticut but it be very funny if he joined like a pack for a hunt lol

Sadly there’s no wolves in Connecticut but they do have other animals like black bears, bobcats and coyotes. I think Hunter probably would run into other predatory animals when hunting the same prey. Realistically the animal would just run away but this is a fun thought. I think I just like the thought of Hunter being good with animals, human realm and demon realm.

Realizing how much your Ghoul AU Hunter would break after flapjacks death, that boy will go through so much and probably think he is truly a monster for a long while into probably the first few months post WaD

Mwhehheehhe, enjoy this rendered sketch :3

How Hunter survived possession in this version, poor flapjack got caught in some crossfire, the shock of it forced Belos out (Belos , who already wanted out since he the bloodlust and painful hunger was too much)

Yup, my boy can fit so much much self-hatred

OMG OMG OMG THIS IS AMAZING WHAT

Like this is gorgeous?!?! The colours and shades and everything is beautiful?!?!?!?! /vvvvpos

IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS!! THEMMM!!!! I actually find this beautiful!!! They are so amazing!!!!

Thank you!!!!! <33333333333333

My gift for @foxalotlposts as a part of @mcyt-halloween !!!!! I had a lot of fun with this :D nothing says Halloween like toxic Yuri with blood and wolf imagery

I have some yap about this so that's under the cut <3

So basically the paintings inspired by a previously discarded au of mine in which Pearl is a noble lady in an arranged marriage with scoot, who she then kills after catching him having an affair. As a punishment for this shes cursed to turn into a wolf and only become human once a month!!! And gem is a which who finds her and "cures" her by helping her basically kill the wolf part of her which leaves her docile and harmless like a house pet (hence the leash and kneeling).

The no faces is a stylistic choice I didnt forget them promise and we're gonna pretend I didn't finish painting this a couple hours ago.

since Halloween is very soon,,,

Black cats are NOT decorations.

If you adopt a black cat, or any cat for that matter, it is a real, living animal that needs your care and attention for the rest of its life. Do not just adopt a black cat for Halloween and then return it to the shelter. It's cruel. Black cats rarely get adopted because of the superstition surrounding them and some are even killed on purpose, so adopting one just to return it is like teasing the poor thing.

The issue of adopting black cats for Halloween and then releasing or giving them up is so bad that many shelters do not allow adoption of black cats in October.

There is no excuse to be cruel to an animal, especially if it's just because it has dark fur.

Please, respect cats.

Reblog to spread awareness please. /nf

I'm going to make paper clothes for Bin so If you guys want to send/reblog ideas Imma make like 8 or more outfits

The Way I'm Sure Mice Are Meant To Die

I'm not always sure what God's I worship

I'm not always sure of my own morals

I'm not always sure of my theories of the afterlife

But something I am sure of and always have been is my belief in mother earth

And my hatred of cruel glue traps

I know the mice are not meant to be here

If I were fast enough to catch them to release I would

But I know I am not

So if it must come to a trap I will use something that is fast

Because between a quick bullet to the brain execution or a long tortureous death of struggle and starvation

I think all of us would choose the first choice

Mind you this creature is dying for such a petty crime

Just trying to survive somewhere they don't even know they shouldn't be

When it's over I'll bury him

The mouse in my room that will soon be in a trap that I've set

And I'll feel bad for murdering something more innocent than my own kind

But I will feel better knowing he did not suffer

And that I return him to the earth from which he came

Become throwing a creature of earth

of flesh and bone once granted life

Into layers of plastic with the pollution bound for a graveyard of garbage

It feels so wrong

Even as a child I knew that

It goes against all nature and worse starves earth of her meal

It's take with no true give

I'll likely repeat this to deaf ears of family

When they find me digging a hole for a pest

If I had a choice I'd be buried with no coffin

But I know I don't

So all I can do is hope for the cheapest one

Made of the softest wood

Something easy to rot

I'd rather not keep mother earth waiting long for her meal

For now I'll give her back the small mouse that wandered away from her to my own den

And hope she sees his death not as unatural cruelty but as predator sharing prey

The way I'm sure mice are meant to die

absolutely devastated about that little guy… the world is so cruel and mean

photos for you @darkraincore

something is rotting.

the smell pervades the house, wafting through the halls, seeping under the doorframes.

it’s subtle at first. easy to ignore. i turn on a fan and soon enough I’ve gone noseblind.

it’s been three days. I found a little mouse dead on the floor. it’s small. too small.

the smell gets worse. the fan is on all the time now. I put perfume under my nose to block it out. eventually, I grow numb.

a week. there is no escaping it. I have looked everywhere. it has stained all my clothes. It is here, somewhere, the source of it.

it has been months. I cannot leave. I am weak. it affects me constantly.

something is rotting.

it is me. it has always been me.

Reposting this because it still has 0 notes and I’m still really proud of it 💔 💔/lh

“Revenge of the Lamb”

⬇️ Non-monochrome version under the cut ⬇️

A lil piece I made, snuck some oc lore in there as well mwhehheh

I can’t decide whether I like the monochrome version or the colour version more so I posted both :D

I've been thinking about trauma and what may qualify, and I'm starting to realize that raising animals probably did contribute to the trauma we have.

(tw explicit animal death/killing, general gross/gore warning)

I remember watching a family friend crack open eggs that hadn't incubated fully to hatching when I was five or younger, and she explained that it's just the way things are on a farm sometimes as I watched those soggy underdeveloped chicks lay still on the straw.

When I was older one of my goats had a stillborn kid - but it had been dead long enough to rot in the womb, and its corpse was literally falling apart as we pulled it out.

I raised a couple batches of turkeys that I loved so, so much, even though I knew we'd butcher them. I named them and carried them around and spent so much time with them they were incredibly docile. One turkey from the second batch I raised got injured - I think he broke his wing or something? - and the bigger tom that was with him was doing what turkeys do and trying to bully him to death. He was in so much pain, and while I agreed to help my parents butcher him for meat, I asked that one of them kill him because I hate killing animals. Unfortunately, mom decided to wait until later in the day when it would be more convenient to butcher him. When I found him suffering in his pen hours after I thought my parents had put him down, I got my sharpest knife and sobbed as I pinned him down and slit his throat.

I have so, so many stories like those that I am starting to acknowledge qualify as traumatic for a tenderhearted kid, but I feel like I shouldn't be traumatized by them. It's the way things are on a farm, after all. It's what happens. It's how life goes. So many of my animals died because I owned a bunch of animals for a long time and it's the way things go. Was I really not strong enough to handle it? Surely I should have been able to. Surely it's just the way things are, am I really so weak as to let those facts of the circle of life hurt me?

This is what life is. Why did it break me?

one of the most interesting ( and sad ) true crime cases i've read about was that of Andy , the footless goose . Andy was born in the late 80s in Nebraska and died in '91 , killed in a murder .

Andy was born without feet and had gone through several different attempts to give him mobility , including "a skateboard-like prosthesis" . none worked . Andy's owner then "fitted [him] with [special] baby-sized shoes" , which gave Andy the mobility of a typical goose .

Andy became a role-model for disabled kids ( since his shoes allowed him to walk , swim and fly with the efficiency of a typical goose ) .

Andy's story is a sad one , ending with him being found dead in a local park , dismembered . the local government stated that they had found the perpetrator but opted to not reveal their identity .

Hello no pressure but I would love more of your thought process behind the Dying Dog. It's a gorgeous piece and I need the directors commentary.

Thank you guys for giving so much attention to that one, you make me happy as ever!

Well, about the thought process.... heh... Let's say... *puffs a sig like Joker from the movie Joker*.. There were no thought process.....🚬

The picture just popped up in my head and I knew that was some kind of symbolism or metaphor here (I can't differentiate the two) but consciously I couldn't explain what it was. Just feelings... With both writing and art, it happens often - symbols are born by themselves and I'm unable to decipher what they mean unless I materialize them.

If I am to guess, the Dying Dog is just a metaphor for Sniper's inner state. When dogs die from natural causes, there's usually a period of time, about few weeks, to notice. In this period, the dog owners usually prepare for the loss, saying goodbye and making sure the last days of their pet are happy.

But in this piece Sniper is not an owner but a dog himself. He feels like slowly dying somehow, he's prepared and he's waiting. Except the end doesn't come near. Imagine lying there in pain, waiting for the sanctuary of death, but it's been months and years and it never ends. Yet it feels like the end. Does it make sense? Just what is he preparing for, exactly, then?..

Dizziness, feeling cold and sweaty from the inner heat. Yet no physical sign of dying.

A literal dying dog looks more alive than him.

(Also, a little timelapse!!)

The Dying Dog

Warning ahead of time for talking about aquatic animal death (non-mammal), trying not to talk about food preparation (I think I did good not mentioning specific things), and non-aquatic animal death.

I like watching food videos, which is great and all until it's seafood. It's either going to be palatable to watch or activate discomfort and rage.

The only way I can watch them is if the meat is already prepared, as they should be. Except shellfish (I feel so dumb asking, but that's shrimp as well, yeah? I think yeah).

But, like, there are! So many! Videos! Preparing the seafood Too Much! One was even taking a fish straight from a river and preparing it for eating! You get what I mean? I don't want to say too much.

And because of your efforts in spreading the truth of fish (and other aquatic non-mammals) having feelings and personalities and such, I start thinking... Would there be casual videos of food preparation like this for chickens? Cows? No, no there wouldn't. Because we respect them to some kind of degree, their full preparation would be greatly distressing to watch, wouldn't it? Why is it okay with seafood? You get me?

Not to worry anon, I will tag this appropriately with animal death trigger warning tags. Though I will also have to warn anyone still reading, I will also talk about the killing of animals. A bit of an essay about fish mistreatment and the possible reasons why incoming ^^''

I feel you! I have noticed this worrying trend in society myself, so have many other much wiser fish enthusiasts and activists before me. Publicly showing the preparing of fish from the live animal to the finished dish is... creepily normalised. Especially when this would never be done to mammals! Like that pufferfish meme that was popular some years back, the one where the pufferfish eats a carrot and then moans? That clip is a part of a fuller video where said pufferfish is prepared, fully on screen, into a dish. Even the actual meme, the pufferfish biting into the carrot and moaning is saddening and disturbing to me; the pufferfish is gasping for oxygen and the chef sticks a carrot in its mouth just to show how sharp its beak is, prolonging its fear and suffering.

Something that I think explains this phenomenon, and what I've heard activists talk about, is that what most dictates how we view an animal is how we first come into contact with said animal. We tend to see animals like mammals, birds, beautiful pollinators in everyday life in contexts that tend to value them just for existing as they are, like dogs and cats being pets, songbirds singing and butterflies and bees flying from flower to flower looking pretty. (As a big arthropod fan I acknowledge that invertebrates are often overlooked and underestimated as well! And I also acknowledge that not all mammals and birds are loved equally as they should. But that's a whole other story.)

But fish? Besides aquariums, I don't think people have very many experiences with fish just existing. Many people's first real memory of seeing and interacting with fish might just be going fishing with a relative or a friend. Your first meaningful encounter with a fish and it's said fish being caught with a hook in the lip, out of the water, possibly suffocating or promptly killed to be prepared into a dish? That kind of interaction immediately normalises that fish are more of a service than a group of animals that can be appreciated just as they are. It also normalises catching and preparing of fish unlike any other animal! I'm not saying fishing is inherently horrible, but see how most people don't ever get to see a cow or a chicken being slaughtered? Yet a good chunk of people must have gone fishing at some point or another. This immediately and subconsciously tells us that it's fine to see fish being killed in front of us, because it's normal.

I think what also helps us disregard the emotions and experiences of fish when we see them be killed in front of our eyes is the fact that, as humans, we can have a hard time relating to animals that don't look or emote like we do. Of course fish feel emotions, they feel joy, sadness, anger, love, and they definitely feel terrified to be out of the water and in the hands of a predator! But they don't emote it through facial expressions, they can't scream or wail, they can't wave their limbs like a terrestrial animal in distress would, they can only squirm. The emotions they feel are real, we just don't read them as strongly as we do on other animals. (And even then humans are mighty good at anthropomorphising animals when they shouldn't. Did you know that to other primates smiling is often a threat display, but some humans have gotten hurt by primates for assuming that it's a happy smile and smiling back?) So, once again we can ignore the feelings of fish much easier when they aren't screaming in fear, or crying, or clawing to get out — out of sight, out of mind. This is most likely why some folk think of fish as living decorations, also. It's easy to overlook their personalities when you don't see them displaying their emotions loud and clear.

These two reasons are why I think it's extraordinarily important to teach people about the lives of fish! Sure, fishing will always be a thing and our tendency to look for humanlike expressions is in our DNA. But how easy will it be to disregard fish once you know that cichlids form complex social circles where everyone knows who's who and their exact relationships? How manta rays and cleaner wrasse recognise their own self in a mirror and even in pictures? How catfish talk to each other with drumming sounds? How bettas have unique personalities and enjoy playing? How some sharks like to be pet? I don't think it'll come just as naturally as before. Even one visit to an aquarium or a near body of water can be a lifechanging experience. :)

Thank you anon for presenting such an interesting ask, look how it got me talking! This is all food for thought, for me and to anyone who has gotten this far. I don't think I can ever express how much I love fish. I love their little personalities so much and they all deserve to live their lives to the fullest. I hope that perhaps some people who didn't see it before will be able to see what I see, because life is so much more fun and meaningful when you appreciate all the living things around you! Not just the meowing and barking ones.

just collected two bat skeletons ive been watching decay in a lane for a while now, they are mostly clean but there is some fur on one of them (a fair bit though it seems any flesh has decayed) and some wing membrane on both (not much), was wondering if anyone had advice on cleaning them or anything i should keep in mind? idk what they died of, probably electrocution based on the area they died and lack of wounds, also they are flying foxes i believe (im not very knowledgable with bat species though)

Rebloging because 1. holy shit and 2. the link for the young man’s death no longer works, hoping someone will update the link maybe? (All the other links I tried worked)

PETA

you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?

you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “ We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?

you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?

you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?

you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?

you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?

you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?

Because I remember. I remember everything. 

And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too. 

Animals are not a gift or a toy. They are a responsibility that can last for years. If you want to give your family or friends an animal, make sure they are prepared for all the implicit care and emotional attachment.

As someone who loves critters, and who takes care of two aquariums, I have been given animals as presents before. This is Zillo, the only survivor of a group of five juvenile salamanders I was given this last Christmas. I love him to death, and I was thrilled when my brother gave them to me. But I have never cared for a salamander before. It is a completely different kind of care and attention then what I give my fish. As a result, four other perfectly healthy salamanders lost their lives.

If you want to give your friends/family an animal, please consider wether they are prepared to take care of it, or even have the financial and mental bandwidth for it. A much more appreciated way to give a pet to someone is to give them the supplies they will need, rather than the animal itself. A pet owner will love this so much more because often the supplies to care for the pet are more difficult to procure than the animal itself. Not only that, but it shows that you were thinking of the person and the animal when you were buying the gift. I guarantee a pet owner will recognize that and be so much happier

And that’s why we give them flowers 🌸🌻🌹 Have a nice and colorful Easter 😊 (But please don’t gift any live animals, thank you) WEBTOON ~ INSTAGRAM
