birds of prey are the often-forgotten victims of the shooting industry - brutally and illegally killed so that there are more "game" birds around for humans to blast out of the sky for fun 🦅🌿

the positioning of the birds here is deliberately awkward - they are mostly based on photo references of hawks, kites, falcons and harriers who had been killed on grouse moors 🪶

“Ni carne, ni leche, ni huevos, ni plumas, ni lana, ni cuero, ni pieles, ni experimentos, ni diversión. Lo único que necesitamos de los animales, es su perdón.”

“No meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor feathers, nor wool, nor leather, nor skins, nor experiments, nor amusement. The only thing we need from animals is their forgiveness.”

“The white carpet. For the farmer it means profit. For the animals, lack of air, ubiquitous feces and ammonia, no space to spread their wings or move, each single activity is unimaginable struggle and suffering. Broiler farm (2020).”

Fact 058. Worldwide, over 6 billion male chicks are killed soon after hatching in the egg-laying industry.
