This horse was found abandoned by his owner. When contacted the owner decided to give him up instead of face large animal cruelty fines. He is now in an equine rescue receiving the food he desperately needs. In just a few days he's gained over 100 pounds of weight but still weighs about half of what he should.
So why did I take this photograph? I wanted to show everyone that sometimes humans can be so destructive by doing nothing. Simply by not feeding and giving water to this horse his previous owner reduced him to nearly nothing.

Edit: I've decided to rename this submission.

Edit 7/24/07: I can't believe its happened, I got a Daily Deviation Honestly I don't yet know how to feel, I'll let it sink in for a while The lack of a full view on this one bothered me so I remembered I had a copy of it on another art site (it was the very same identical photo and crop) so I edited the photo so the full view would return. I also wish I could replace my old annoying watermark with something more subtle but the original was lost in a drive crash.

Thanks in advance for all the comments, favorites, and watches I get from this, I'll do my best to get to them all.

Edit 7/25/07
I managed to mess with my old defacing copyright enough to make it much less noticeable, its still there but not as obvious as it previously was. I also cut the title off the bottom as well.
