I thought they meant pictures of pets from when they were alive. Who even has a picture of their pet’s corpse in the first place?!? Just recalling the moment my 14-year-old dog went limp in my arms when he was put to sleep is enough to make me want to vomit.
While I have seen corpse pictures on forums for cats and dogs, I think I see it more on “exotic” pet forums, like guinea pigs, rats, mice, lizards, snakes, and spiders/insects. It’s distressing regardless, because that was someone’s beloved pet, but also no one needs to see their corpse; a pic of when it was alive is perfectly acceptable when discussing grief. I just don’t see the point of posting a picture of the corpse, it just feels unnecessary.
I have had pets pass away, and I wouldn’t even think of taking a photo. It just feels so weird to me. Im not the OP of this post, but I get what they’re saying.
Someone I know who loved her cat in a way that I don’t understand, and I love cats, insisted on showing me a picture of the expensive, elaborate silk-lined coffin she got for her cat with the dead cat lying in it. I… yeah.
Oh shit! That’s awful!

Because posting pictures of corpses is generally considered insulting to the corpse as well as morbid.
