Does that mean that there is no picture which you would find repugnant? BTW, I'm _not_ saying you should or shouldn't find this particular picture repugnant. Just trying to ascertain whether anything pictured would push your buttons and where the line would be for you.

If you (not pete) find this or any other picture repugnant, move on. Don't piss and moan about how you've been personally assaulted... it's NOT about you.

You are correct, a person's sensitivity to stimuli will change depending on their exposure to it. Therefore, it seems that a person has two choices when faced with reality, #1: turn away, and choose to remain sheltered and unable to deal with the real world, or #2: assimilate the new information, embrace it, and advance as a person. You are correct, I was wrong to state this as a mental health issue. It is actually a maturity issue. A mature person will be able to see an image of a natural death (the kind which occurs billions of times every day) and fully understand what it is, what it means...and it will not be traumatic to them. You are correct, there is a sliding scale upon which people idenify household pets as family members. I subscribe to that. However, it is actually DISRESPECTFUL to the animal to anthropomorphize its psychological characteristics. When I see the image of the snake and the cat, I naturally empathize more with the "victim" in the image. I do not simply, selfishly, regard the animal as a "teddy bear" that lives within my home, but I fully respect that animal as a predator with its own way of living life. I do not believe that the cat as a species is ignorant about the realities of life and death. In empathizing with the cat psychology, I do not apply my own "soft" human feelings. I am actually being MORE sensitive. I am RESPECTING nature, for what it is. I insist that to be repulsed by this image is to be truly ignorant and immature.

You should read "Cooking with Fernet Branca" I truly think you will enjoy, if not love, it.

What you aren't understanding is that I have already been through this, and come out the other side. I'm not interested in going backwards...

Wow people. How many dead animals do you pass on the road in a week. And thats live! Do you get all mushy over that? I have been a pet lover and owner all my life and I am amazed at the reaction of some people to this picture. Am I going to hang it on my living room wall? No, but come on, it is an interestesting phototgraph which is what iotd is all about. Right?
