And again...
Is there an end to the madness in this world? Innocent victims... too many of them.
Thanks again Jose, to have tried your best there to help. And you did...

You've seen the slaughtering house called Africa !

Bonjour Jose,
It's horrible and it's also the reality of daily life for so many children. I'm ashamed of what "we" can do...
That's how people are I'm afraid, getting upset about a "dead rabbit" but sometimes also closing their eyes for the misery of humans elsewhere.

I hate what I see on this photo, but we need to see it to make sure we never forget it happens.

Olá Jose,
that is a cruel one bringing back this and other genocides back into my mind. The dramatic simplicity of this capture let us very much focus on the background of this.
It is one of the real things that things happening on the world are more cruel, bad and often done by us human beings. Thanks for that reminder.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Jose
We live in a sad world.
I hope your image will awaken everyone, including the responsible of thoses situations.

Here, we have road signs that says, ¨slow down, it might be your child¨

It is not easy to witness

Thank you for posting, without bearing witness to these tragedies and documenting them we will never be able to say they did not happen.
