Story

This series of images are taken outside a slaughterhouse in Kashgar, China.

Growing up in Singapore, the childhood that many of us are familiar with are those involving toys, playgrounds and books. We've been taught from young to treat animals kindly, with strong condemnation towards animal abuse.
