I know this is uplifting news but that picture raises my bile. I would rather see those thieves impaled on that horn.

Removing the horn is part of the conservation effort.

Dehorning rhinos | Save the Rhino

Dehorning, when used as part of a tool-kit of anti-poaching strategies, can help protect rhinos. But it's not 100% effective and carries some risks.

I get it. It still makes me irritated and the picture lacks that context.

The context is right under the photo. It literally says what they’re doing and why.

I was commenting about the preview image in app.

You expect a lot of context out of a preview image do you?

I expect preview images to not be distressing in a community called uplifting news. Don’t be dense.

Example Headline: Cure for Childhood Leukemia Discovered

Example Preview Image: Dead children

Me: Well that really kills my mood.

Enlightened Lemming: It makes sense when you read the article. 🤓

People fighting against filthy poachers is certainly uplifting to me. Maybe not to people like you.

You seem to misunderstand me and frankly I don’t much care to help you work through it.
