    I think all of the "livestock" is actually dead - except one of those pictures of chickens. they're just transporting food.

    The fish are dead, the big pigs in grass mats are dead (I think). The rest are all alive I believe. The poultry are all holding their heads up. The baby pigs don't look like they had their throats cut yet. Don't forget the market shoppers in other countries want live food so they know it's fresher. In puerto Rico country marketplaces nobody would ever buy DEAD chickens- who knew how "old" they were then? (ever buy a too-old roast chicken in the supermarket?-eew!!) You have them killed and cleaned them right when you buy them, or else you take them home to do it yourself just before you cook them.

    I'm more alarmed that the villagers have to use that bridge and carry a baby in their arms at the same time. Who gives a ^%$ about the livestock if you have to use that bridge.

    Sorry, just sayin' . . .

    And ALL of these glimpses can serve to remind us how privileged we are as compared to "most" of the world...and how we should consider doing things to help make a difference to others who don't have all our luxuries and bounty.

    My favorite is the baby on the scooter. Scary!
