Stumpy's Compassion

Ⓥ An animal rights photographer's repository Ⓥ

[Stumpy's Compassion @stumpyscompass]

Thank you all for your support.
TLDR: Stumpy’s Compassion will be moving forward as an animal rights photography repository due to mental health and personal issues. Will be posting but extremely rarely.

This isn’t just animal abuse, it’s child abuse. No animal nor child should ever have to go through this, and they don’t have to.

July 19th, 2019. During a 4-H fair, this chicken was seen panting in the 90 degree heat. (Continued below)

Once these fairs end, most of these animals are auctioned off for slaughter, after having ribbons put on their cages.
Imagine that for a second, being given a ribbon for an animal you’ve raised because they’re in great health, then having to sell them off to be killed.

and even screaming at these animals. No animal should ever be put on a fairground, let alone shown off for entertainment at all. Most, if not all, of these individuals are sent to slaughter once the fair ends, and the animals have been auctioned off. May they rest in peace.

May 25th, 2019. A young cow is tied up and out on display to have their body judged by on-goers of this event, to then be sent off to slaughter so humans can eat their body parts. (Continued below)

It indoctrinates kids into a culture of violence towards animals, and perpetuates such through showing them off to other humans in a situation no animal should be put in, left for days in the hot summer heat surrounded by loud humans, poking and prodding,

[Stumpy's Compassion @stumpyscompass]

I will never understand why humans wanted to rip their body apart. Never.

September 15th, 2019. This specific individual sticks with me. While going around this particular slaughterhouse, I came upon this duck. (Continued below)

A number of things could’ve caused this beak deformity, but that’s not why I think about them often. It was their demeanor. The way they looked up at me, their docile stare and stance, the pure innocence in their eyes, it’s one I will never forget.

Thankfully, a severe thunderstorm saved these horses from continuing the races on this day. Hopefully they weren’t in pain for too long on this day.

[Stumpy's Compassion @stumpyscompass]

June 6th, 2026. A horse is forced to race at the Meadowlands Racetrack, strapped down in a sickly bondage to pull a sulky, where a human sits upon and whips the horse from behind.

While cheering with pride as the human does so, the horse is left in immense pain and discomfort as their reins are violently pulled on, so much so you can see contortion in the mouth, a highly sensitive area on the body of a horse. I will never understand how this is normalized.

[Stumpy's Compassion @stumpyscompass]

You think you’ve seen it all, but it gets worse and worse every time. I hope this individual, and the many others here, found peace in death, who was far kinder than our species of “animal lovers”.

[Stumpy's Compassion @stumpyscompass]

July 6th, 2019. At the same location mentioned in the post prior. A dead chicken lays rotting in their cage, guts pouring out of their body.

I’m really at a loss of words for this, since the day I took this image, I couldn’t imagine a worse place I’d want to be, and the guilt I had leaving that building, knowing my privilege as a human being, allowed me to leave alive in one piece, sits with me to say the least.

[Stumpy's Compassion @stumpyscompass]

I hope all these individuals could find peace in death, no longer having to be treated as trash.

July 6th, 2019. A “spent” egg laying hen who escaped the cages of a live market in Newark, New Jersey. This was by far the most gross live market I have been into to date.

This place sticks with me, because of just how bad it was here. I will try to keep the next few posts on the same page, having other photos I’ve taken here, including that of one of the dead hens left to rot inside their cage.
