End of the Road, 2017

The main reason the meat industry is able to stay in business is people turning a blind eye to what is actually happening. People ignore the fact that what they are eating is animals that were once alive. Artists like Raj Singh try to expose this industry through art. This work shows a human in the position of the cows that are about to be slaughtered. The bar covers his mouth, as though silencing him. Fear can be seen in the eyes of not only the human, but the cows as well. If we as a society were able to recognize and respect animals as living beings, there is a good chance that the consumption of meat would go down drastically. Label by Riley Kelley
