Artist's Comments

I actually took this behind a piece of glass, so forgive the shitty nature of it. This is a 3 year old Black Panther at the zoo I saw. It says he was captured in the wild and brought to the States to be put in a zoo. In my definition, that is Animal Cruelty. Taking an animal from its natural environment so a bunch of over sized fat assed americans can look at it in the fucking zoo and take pictures of it.

TAKEN FROM THE WILD???!!! That's IS animal cruelty! A wild animal SHOULD NEVER be brought in from the wild to live in captivity! There are so many being privately owned that are quickly dumped out that's its irreasponsible to do such a thing. I side with you completely.

I like the look of it from behind the glass. Its this surreal nature type look, like...i don't know. I think the emotion is rather incredible...

You tell me that I sin. You say I'm bound for hell. So once your judgement condemns you... I SHALL SEE YOU THERE.

No, actually I asked the guy, they took it from the wild into captivity because it showed the true nature of a wild animal.... I wanted to punch the guy.

I agree with you that it is animal cruely, but you took a picture of it, didn't you?

I took a photograph of it to show how fucked up it is. Not because I wanted a picture of the cute black panther.
