Prairie Dark Room Trisia Eddy
Here’s another great example of an amazing Horse Hero. Someone who puts her actions and her money where her mouth is. Meet photographer extraordinaire and horse advocate Trisia Eddy, from The Prairie Dark Room, in Alberta, Canada.
Like so many Trisia is incredibly busy with family and work but even still she recently took the time to shoot and share gorgeous pictures, and to write and share compelling thoughts on the matter of horse slaughter.
In addition she recently volunteered and built a website for Horse Heroes Alberta.
Our hat is off to Trisia who writes:
“It feels exciting and adventurous to be in the field, taking pictures of horses in the wild, or at liberty, at play. However, spend enough time as an advocate for horses, and eventually you will be confronted with the other side of the field: the auction house.
It is a sad reality that as a society, we have created a system which commodifies animals, and horses are no exception. Attend auctions routinely, and you will soon realize that the majority of the animals coming through the door wind up on the truck to the slaughterhouse.
Trace the path of these horses and one cannot help but be appalled: the system is poorly managed, the meat is not fit for human consumption (despite the high prices it garners,) and people willingly turn a blind eye to the amount of indiscriminate over-breeding and abuse that is rampant.
Taking pictures at the auction is controversial and difficult. Some argue it creates unnecessary tension, and insist that it shouldn’t be done. As a photographer, however, it is my role to capture what I see. To me, there is no difference between sharing an image of a horse enjoying freedom, wild in the mountains, and a horse captive in a pen, waiting to be sold to a meat buyer…they are all equal. They show affection to one another, they express interest in the humans they interact with. They exhibit pain and fear. Each and every one of them deserve recognition as a being worthy of respect; each and every one deserve to have their story told.”
