This image is my final print of my first plate dealing with injustice. The injustice I chose to work with was that of abuse of domesticated animals. Animals were put on this earth for us to care for and I think it's completely unacceptable that anyone could neglect or hurt these innocent creatures. Animals have a complete and total love and trust in human beings and will love us no matter what we do to them. This plate shows an emaciated horse with a shadow behind him of what he should look like if it weren't for neglectful humans.

This is the same plate from above before I put the dark aquatint on the background.

This is the final print from my second plate which deals with the issue of dog fighting. I have been watching a lot of documentaries and doing research on dog fighting and the things I have been reading and the images I have been viewing are appaling. These dogs are bred to kill and either kill one another in the ring or are murdered by their owners for not being tough enough. These dog fighters have taken an animal that is inately good and turned it into a weapon of destruction for their own entertainment.

This is the plate showing the line etch of the two dogs before I aquatinted the background.
