WOW!!! This photo speaks volumes!! ...about your talent... about animal intelligence ... about animal EMOTIONS... about the ignorance of too many people on this Earth, unfortunately. This should be on the cover of The National Geographic and every publication about animal abuse, or preserving/saving nature, animals, etc. AMAZING PHOTO!!!!
