.Cee 50 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I first saw this pic a few years ago and still got tears in my eyes even tho I've seen it a few times. Made donations to Unicef yearly now. Might not be much at all but at least it's something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 The childrens mothers were yards away collecting food from a plane according to the photographer with Carter. He saw the vulture land, and then he waited 20 minutes for the vulture to spread it's wings, but it wouldnt oblige. He sold the pic for $6000 to a New York magazine apparently.

Elliott 7 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 No wonder he committed suicide, sold his soul to the devil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Horrible picture. I pride myself on the fact I give monthly to Unicef and have done a few fundraisers for them, but its still a sickening sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Cee 50 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 No wonder he committed suicide, sold his soul to the devil. Yes, and yet if he didn't take that pic and sold it, A LOT of people would still be ignorant of the sufferings around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 It's the fact that he waited until the vulture was ready to strike that gets me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Oh my god! I don't think I've ever seen a more horrible picture :mellow: The child dies in search of food so that it can be food for something else, that's heartbreaking to see something like that.

Para6iT 2 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Omg..it tears me up inside though. It's better for that child to die than suffering like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
