Content warning: In this episode Brad and I cover a user submitted question and discuss animals killing/eating other animals starting at 30 minutes. We try not to get too graphic but if you don’t want to hear us talk about that please feel free to skip the rest of the episode.
Brad and I catch up on recent outings then we answer a question from listener Jill who asked - "Last night I saw a brutal exchange between eagles and I posted the tame shot. I don’t like seeing action shots on my feed that include death. Especially mammals (fox with bunny shots/mammals in Africa kill me) but birds as well. Like the peregrine eating bird shots, woof. No thanks. BUT today I posted one. Because it happened right in front of me, cuz how do you not fire away when that happens? Partly to see what your camera can do haha! So I guess my long winded topic request is should we post photos of death? And if so which ones? And why? Just because we saw it?"
