After being sold in black markets animals not only lose their freedom but sometimes their lives as well. To help raise the awareness among people about the threats of black market animals, a California based sanctuary has teamed up with a Los Angeles based photographer. The photographs not only raise awareness for these animals but also portray their majestic beauty in photographs. The animals in the photographs are some of the lucky ones which the sanctuary has managed to save from the heinous act of captivity.
This photoshoot portrays the animals in their “Wild” look.
The photoshoot has been given the name ‘Where the Wild Things Are”. This photoshoot is the combined collaboration of the animal sanctuary called Animal Tracks and the photographer Natasha Wilson of De Anastacia Photography. The photoshoot presents many exotic animals that were up for sale as pets in the black market of California. The black market was selling a Serval, South American Capuchin monkeys, and even the Australian kangaroo.
These magnificent creatures after their rescue are now being portrayed as models wearing colored coordinated outfits and nature-inspired backgrounds to remind people of the natural habitats of these animals.
Despite suffering the horrors of being plucked away from their natural habitats and then sold in captivity, these animals after their rescue seem to be completely calm and dignified in this photoshoot.
Now take a walk for yourself on the Wild Side to have a look at the majesty of these animals.
