EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heart-wrenching photo captured by Tiksa Negeri, a motorist drives past an emaciated horse with a broken leg in the town of Hawassa, Ethiopia. The image portrays the harsh reality faced by many domesticated animals in urban cities, where their well-being often goes unnoticed or ignored. The brown landscape and dilapidated surroundings serve as a stark reminder of the challenging environment these animals endure daily. As people pass by in their cars, seemingly unrecognizable to the suffering animal on the street, one cannot help but feel a sense of sadness and empathy for this poor creature. The creative use of soft lighting adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing both the fragility and resilience of life. The horse's thin frame symbolizes its struggle to survive amidst traditional ways that may not prioritize animal welfare. Despite its broken leg, we see a group of people walking leisurely nearby - perhaps unaware or desensitized to the pain endured by this helpless creature. This juxtaposition highlights society's indifference towards such distressing scenes. As we contemplate this powerful image, it serves as a call for action - urging us all to be more compassionate towards our fellow beings and take steps towards creating an environment where no living being suffers needlessly.
