Animal Cruelty

The idea of animal cruelty for my political theme - looking at how we treat animals.

Although he may not be the most established photographer using mainly stock imagery to make his digital manipulations, the mutant animals he creates I find very visually compelling. His images which combine animals creating mutant species could be an interesting take on the science and genetically modifying animals.

They remind me of the mouse with human ear.

Mexico Animal Rights Protest 9/12/2009. Another way to demonstrate animal cruelty. I like the idea of including people, a way of saying 'how would you like it?'

Here is my index print for my roll of film taken at the Wellington Zoo.

My idea to show animal cruelty is to have these photo's as background images; the cages from the zoo, and overlay people into the cages instead of the animals - reversing the idea of the zoo.
