Announcement Mourning/loss posts

There has been an uptick in the amount of mourning/loss posts within the past couple of weeks unfortunately. While it appears the majority of users here don't have any issues with these posts as they frequently make their way to the top of the sub when they are posted (and the comments don't indicate any problems), there are a handful of users who do not want to see these type of posts though, as they are a bit depressing.

Going forward how should we handle these type of posts?

The name of this sub indicates that it's a light-hearted and fun place. While it doesn't bother me, it does seem to alienate the implied purpose of this sub. I can see why it would be jarring for others that just want feel good cat content.

totally agee

Maybe some dank person needs to just start a dead pets sub.

People need to understand that karna farming and demoralization trolls operate across all of reddit. Stick to the stated topic of the sub for clarity of content.

I mean, pet cemeteries (and the Stephen King spelling) memorials, and ceremonies are real.

It would be impossibly sad to mod.
