Tourists watch an Asian elephant forced to swim underwater for performances. Khao Kiew Zoo, Thailand, 2019. Adam Oswell / HIDDEN / We Animals
Description:
This photograph is one of the 204 images included in the book HIDDEN: Animals in the Anthropocene, published by We Animals. HIDDEN is an unflinching book of photographs documenting our relationship with non-human animals around the globe, as depicted through the lenses of 40 award-winning photojournalists.
HIDDEN focuses on the invisible animals in our lives: those with whom we have a close relationship and yet fail to see. They are the animals we eat and the animals we wear. They are the animals used in research and for entertainment, as well as the animals we sacrifice in the name of tradition and religion. The stories within its pages are revelatory and brutal.
‘The Anthropocene’ is the proposed name for the current geologic epoch. In this era, human activity is the dominant influence on the climate, the environment, and all life on Earth. As we enter a new decade, an estimated 80 billion land animals continue to be used and consumed by humans each year, the majority of whom are raised and killed within industrial agricultural systems. These numbers do not include fish or other marine life, as they are not counted as individuals—their quantities are reported only by the tonne. Buy the book.
