EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures a heart-wrenching scene outside a bustling market in Manila. In the image, rows of vibrant and colorful chicks are on display, their tiny bodies painted with bright hues to attract potential buyers. Priced at just 4 pesos each (equivalent to $0.8 cents), these adorable creatures are being sold as pets. The juxtaposition of innocence and exploitation is evident in this snapshot. While the playful colors may initially seem charming, they mask a darker reality - these chicks have been subjected to unnecessary harm for commercial gain. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the ethical issues surrounding animal welfare. In many parts of the world, including Manila, animals are often treated as commodities rather than sentient beings deserving respect and care. This image highlights the need for greater awareness about responsible pet ownership and compassion towards all living creatures. Photographer Cheryl Ravelo-Gagalac has skillfully captured both the visual allure and underlying sadness within this frame. Her composition draws attention to society's complex relationship with animals while evoking empathy from viewers who witness this poignant moment frozen in time. Ultimately, this thought-provoking photograph prompts us to reflect on our own actions towards animals and consider how we can contribute positively to their well-being in an increasingly interconnected world.
