Please add feature to filter dead pandas when browsing :(

I cry every time I see a panda is no longer with us.

I feel your sadness. As time goes on there will be animals that I've followed since they were born, that will no longer be alive, and I will have memories and hundreds of photos, and that's it. Can you give me some more details of how this came up?

Redpandafinder already filters pandas who have passed away when clicking the random dice -- but it's not a perfect filter at the moment. A random zoo can pop up that has a recently-deceased animal. Or two animals may appear as a random together, and one is no longer alive. (I try to filter when all animals in a group have passed away, but my code for this filtering may not work properly).

I do not filter for passed-away pandas when adding new photos on the front page, or when doing the "what's for lunch" headline sets. I'm happy to take feedback on whether this is the right call.
