If humans, as a self-aware, sentient and morally-guided species were to have a common goal, it should surely be to reduce worldwide suffering. The Anticarnist was formed to highlight how corporations, institutions and entire cultures have systematically created the denial necessary for otherwise compassionate people to justify the inexcusable. The imprisonment, slavery, torture and murder of those

who happen to be of a different species to ourselves occurs on a colossal scale in the name of greed and those that oppose it are in the overwhelming minority. Only by spreading the lost concepts of empathy, love and truth can we help others understand that the bacon on their plates once had a personality and a life just as valid as their pet dog's.

I took this photo while volunteering at a Fresh Start For Hens rehoming day. This hen had spent her life in the egg industry and like every other 18 month old hen she was no longer considered commercially useful and was due to go to slaughter. Fresh Start For Hens stepped in so that instead, she and the others in her barn could spend the rest of her life as someone’s companion.

Because she had lost so many feathers I could see the structure of her wing unusually clearly. Looking at it, I couldn’t help thinking about the way we usually see chicken wings: separated from the animal they belonged to, packaged and presented as a product. We become so accustomed to seeing animals in pieces that it’s easy to stop thinking about what those pieces actually are.

A chicken wing isn’t something a chicken produces for us. It’s part of her body. Those are her bones, her skin, her flesh and her feathers, all belonging to the same living, breathing individual.

This particular hen got to keep hers. She left that day for a home instead of a slaughterhouse, but billions of chickens will never get that chance. Every chicken wing belonged to someone.

Have you noticed a shift in energy since going plant based? 😄 That's not the only benefit to going plant based - it's also a win for the animals, the environment and can be associated with a lower risk of chronic disease ❤️‍🩹

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”

Sometimes I become so immersed in caring for an individual special-needs animal that, when their life comes to a sad and abrupt end, the grief can be overwhelming. In animal rescue and rehabilitation, tragedies can sometimes stack up in such a way that it feels like signing yourself up for an endless cycle of heartbreak.

I'm learning through regular sessions with my therapist that as long as you have the capacity to care deeply, there will always be the possibility of grief. Grief can bring unimaginable suffering, but the alternative is to close ourselves off from its opposite entirely. You cannot have love without living with the ever-present possibility of loss. All we can do is trust in our own resilience and fight to keep our hearts open in spite of it all.

To be vegan is, in many ways, to open yourself up to more of both the love and the pain that exist in the world. I try to be understanding of those shaped by relentless social and cultural conditioning that teaches us this suffering is too difficult to face, too impossible to change, or too irrelevant to matter.
But it is not irrelevant. It matters enormously.

One morning, I stood beside a lorry carrying chickens to a slaughterhouse only a few miles from my home. What I remember most wasn't what I saw, but what I heard. Due to selective breeding within the industry, they were full grown at only six weeks old, yet they still cheeped like chicks. Babies trapped within adult bodies, some were unable to hold up their own weight and now minutes from their deaths. They deserved so much more compared to the brief period of suffering they endured in this world, so I've given these two names of their own.

Most of us will never see the animals we eat while they are still alive.

We see meat neatly packaged on supermarket shelves, completely removed from the individual it came from. The journey between a living animal and a product is deliberately kept out of sight.

This is where we come in.

At vigils, activists gather outside slaughterhouses. When possible, transport trucks are stopped for a few minutes before they unload the animals so that they can be seen, photographed, in some cases even given water and most importantly, acknowledged.

There's no pretending that standing beside a slaughter truck can save the individuals inside it in this instance. We know exactly where they are going. But there's still something we can do. We can document and make sure those faces leave the slaughterhouse to bring awareness for those that would otherise never have to acknowledge that their choice was never a personal one.

If you think eating animals and their secretions is a personal choice then you are forgetting someone.
We shine a spotlight on what would otherwise remain in the dark.

The photographs behind the Bearing Witness collection were taken by me while attending vigils with Norfolk and Suffolk Animal Vigils.

On a cold November morning, I stood outside Norwich livestock market. I vividly remember the warmth of her breath in the freezing air. We shared only a moment before she was taken away. She deserves to be seen and to have a name that acknowledges her individuality, so I've given her one. Sarah.

Don’t look away.

The Bearing Witness Collection is now available.

These aren’t stock photographs or images chosen to illustrate an idea. I took these photographs while bearing witness with animal rights activists outside slaughterhouses just a few miles from where I live in Norfolk, England.

I watched these animals arrive on the trucks and I looked into their faces. I stood with them knowing where they were going only a few minutes later, knowing I was unable to save them all. All I could take home were their photographs.

I’ve transformed these images into halftone artwork so their existence doesn't disappear with them. I want to make the invisible visible. They were here. They mattered.

Every piece is printed using vegan, cruelty-free inks and 10% of profits from Anticarnist goes to animal sanctuaries, so the animals pictured here can help others find the safety they were denied.

If we won’t look, who will? We cannot change what we refuse to see.

On Monday I'll be releasing the biggest and most personal body of work I've ever released on Anticarnist.

Alongside Norfolk Animal Vigils, Norwich Livestock Market Animal Vigils and Suffolk Animal Vigils, I stood outside slaughterhouses and bore witness to those being taken to their deaths. I was there because I believe the invisible need to be made visible.

For years, I had a recurring dream that a young pig would fall from a slaughter truck and I'd be able to scoop them up and take them to safety. I was devastated every time I woke up.

In reality, all I could take home were their photographs.

Now I want to share their stories with the world.

Because they were here. And they mattered.
