Today is world animal day, a day designated to coagulating world efforts towards improving animal welfare through awarness!
Animal welfare, both captive and wild, is a continual issue as many of our fellow humans fail to recognise the fact that we share this planet with OTHER FORMS OF LIFE.
I found this bearcat caged in a small village on the border of Malaysia and Indonesia in Borneo. The villager bought him off some hunters a couple of years ago and has kept him as a pet ever since. If caught he would face fines far beyond his means, but the villager can not bring himself to part with him.
