Death Sentence (Execution)
Photo #2 from the series
the shoot was actually to depict on how does a wet market looks like after everyone gone (about 5-6pm) and to get some dramatic shadows for the photos. it was an overcasted day so i didn't get the shadows i want.
however, the first thing that nabbed my attention as i entered the market was was there were chickens being locked up in tiny cages for waiting to be executed, which i am pretty sure, not by choice. (what you see on the first photograph). the cage was so small, there's barely room for them to move or stand properly.
then as i walked around, i came across a section where various meats were hung about for sale. (photograph number two) this is the place were buy/sell takes place in the morning.
last but not least, (photograph number 3) is where the remains/leftovers of the slaughtered chicken were dumped. it was actually right next to the cages of chicken. the place looks like a holocaust for animals that we actually feed on. the whole place has a disconcerting stench of blood as well.
like i said, i'm not much of a PETA person like pamela anderson or neither am i a vegetarian, but somehow, i do think that we could make some kind of changes can be made to treat them better. at the current rate that we're going, it's a suprise that there's no major plaque breakout from the the way we handle the poultry and farm animals.
