Cows Arriving for Slaughter
Toronto
In the northwest end of Toronto, known as the Stockyards District, there is a slaughterhouse that violently takes the lives of hundreds of cows every day. Residential houses surround this killing factory, and a children's park and splash pad back onto its rear. Across the street is a large, busy shopping complex. While residents shop and children laugh and play under the water fountain, just steps away, the cows' bellows for help go unheeded. The cognitive dissonance is surreal and frightening.
Each one of these cows was an individual with a unique personality, their own likes, dislikes, fears, desires, and a will to live. Please, see them.
