PhotonQ-The Ugly and Stupid Animal...Human
Image by PhOtOnQuAnTiQuE
This morning just in front of the biggest commercial centre, a circus was doing advertising for their "show" with two lions and a baby one at the back of a truck...
Cars were stopping by for a second to see what was inside. And would drive away as soon as they would see them. They were in bad shape, dirty, with blood on their face. The cage was like crap, and their eyes...well I had the opportunity to see lions in the wild... these one were just dead, the shadow of a cat at best.
My first thought was that it could be children or human dying inside, it felt the same thing from an ethical point of view, with people passing by, like it was fun.
When I got near the truck to have a better look inside and take picture of this mess (to record it), one of the circus guy told me a joke...Well I thought he was joking at first... But he was not, like a bad clown,he aked me to pay 5 euros for each photo I would take. The only funny thing was that without make-up, his face expression just changed when I told him what to do with his idea.
I left with a strange feeling and the smell of the place in my mind for the next hour. I came across some cops on the way back, and told them to have a look. The SPA and Veterinarian inspection have been informed too. Will see tomorrow if it changed something. But I am betting it won' t. I am not an "animal right activist" or anything like that. But today I felt what some people must feel about this kind of practice.
I left with a question... what' s the point... All day long I tried to feet theory and ideas..so far..they are more stupid than the reality of the scene itself..
Any thoughts ?

Hey - YOU! What are you lookin' at? Huh? What, never seen handsome before? Never thought a Meercat could be so sexy? What are you looking at? STOP STARING!
This little guy was all about posing, as you can see in some of his other shots. He probably hadn't seen that many people tall enough to reach "over" his glass wall to snap photos (or that would).
