Hunger Hath No Mercy 3497
Nature and hunger know no mercy. I have been reluctant to post some of these images, and have been sitting on them for almost two years. Certainly they are not appropriate for my children's book pages, but even for adults they invoke strong emotions. Amazement, shock, fear, awe, and sadness are but a few emotions that I feel each time I look at them. I watched this struggle go on for hours. I wished, somehow, that I might lessen the buffalo's pain and suffering. It's my nature. Is it purely human to feel empathy? Do we all feel it or only some. Although, if I were hungry enough, would I do the same thing? The questions that these images bring to my mind are endless. I am facinated with the big cats, yet nothing makes me realize their wild and savage side more than this. For the most part we have separated the population from killing needed to feed the hordes of humans that colonize this strange and complex world. The more developed the country, the more distant the connection. But someone must do the deed, and I only hope it can be done with less sufferening and more brevity. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Tanzania #Ngorongoro #Nature in #Africa #TheKill #BigFive #Cats #Lions #Canon #DrDADBooks #Bringit #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday #CapeBuffalo
