EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HUNTING: CRUELTY, 1880. Cruelties Practiced on Fish and Fowl" takes us back to a time when unsportsmanlike practices were unfortunately prevalent in the world of hunting. The engraving, created by an American artist in 1880, sheds light on the disturbing acts committed against innocent creatures. In this scene, we witness men engaged in various activities that showcase their disregard for fair play and compassion towards animals. Overfishing is depicted as nets overflow with fish, highlighting the unsustainable practices employed during that era. Furthermore, ducks are shot from afar, denying them a fighting chance and undermining the essence of true sportsmanship. The image also captures another shocking act - shooting pairs of ducks simultaneously. This cruel practice not only robs these beautiful birds of their lives but also disrupts their natural bond as mates. Adding to the distressing tableau is the sight of horseshoe crabs being harpooned. These ancient creatures have survived for millions of years but now face unnecessary harm at human hands. Through this powerful visual representation, we are reminded of our responsibility to treat all living beings with kindness and respect. It serves as a stark reminder that progress has been made since then in terms of wildlife conservation and ethical hunting practices. Let this thought-provoking image serve as a catalyst for change – urging us to protect our environment and promote compassionate treatment towards all species who share our planet.
