That poor hyena.

When he's had enough, he'll just tear the guy in three pieces and go back to fucking with Simba.

That poor hyena.

Well yes, but also that poor guy.

In particular:

"Many animal-rights groups also contacted me, wanting to intervene (however, the keepers have permits from the Nigerian government). When I asked Nigerians, "How do you feel about the way they treat animals", the question confused people. Their responses always involved issues of economic survival. Seldom did anyone express strong concern for the well-being of the creatures. Europeans invariably only ask about the welfare of the animals but this question misses the point. Instead, perhaps, we could ask why these performers need to catch wild animals to make a living. Or why they are economically marginalised. Or why Nigeria, the world's sixth largest exporter of oil, is in such a state of disarray."

I hate that "instead" shit. It's not an either/or.

"Instead" or "How can you be concerned about A when B is happening?" translates to "FUCK YOU. SHUT THE FUCK UP".

Hell yeah. Great find.

Well that's one interpretation. A kind of defensive and malicious one. I certainly am not glad to see the hyenas suffer, and I am pretty certain the photographer isn't, either. What he finds odd is that "Europeans invariably only ask about the welfare of the animals". Which indicates they are completely blind to the other side of the issue, the human welfare one. Which is sick, pretty much regardless of how much the hyenas suffer.
