Why can't you add a warning for violent, gory photos? Just because there isn't any nudity doesn't mean that it is safe for work. Now I am only further desensitized to animal violence.
Why post that horrific image without some kind of warning? That's an act of aggression. I can't wash that out of my brain.
I get that you don't feel an emotional response to this sort of thing--your objection to this kind of savagery seems intellectual, not visceral--but that literally just ruined my day. Had you so much as hinted that it was that sort of thing, I wouldn't have clicked through.
This photo shows humane removal of a rhino horn from an anesthetized rhino above the live-tissue level by wildlife veterinarians and rangers. The procedure reduces the risk of the animal being brutalized by poachers, but is somewhat controversial because the effects on social behavior (dominance and mate choice) are largely unknown.
The International Rhino Foundation is a great organization, if you would like to donate to rhino-conservation efforts.
@6....I completely agree and couldn't have said it any better. You should go write for Hustler, Charles. And I don't mean that in any sort of nice way.

FUCK.
And yes, humans frequently suck. The planet would be better off without them.
