PLEASE CROSSPOST - AND POST THIS Artist seeking used dog & cat collars for project to demonstrate the plight of euthanized pets!!! Social Documentary Photographer seeksused dog/cat collars
PLease Cross post widely and ask rescues to send used collars for this project see address below. This photographer Chris Jordan, is famous for making social commentary by creating large photos that demonstrate the scale in which we consume products and discard them without a care. He wants to do one on the daily disposal & death of companion animals. He has asked for the rescue community to mail used animal collars so he can create a large scale piece to symbolize the number of animals killed in the USA. Chris Jordan's work is shown in museums and galleries world wide, and the subject of a recent documentary. A link to see some of his work is: http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_ set2.php Please support his efforts. He needs 200 collars to make this a reality. Vicki Nick of Time dog rescue Hello Vicki, thank you for your touching message. I have been thinking for quite awhile about doing a piece about this. The best idea I have so far is to use collars. I have been talking to several humane societies around the country, trying to find a few hundred collars, but I can't find anywhere that has them and is willing to give them to me. Do you know of a source for a couple of shopping bags full of used dog and cat collars? If so I would do a piece about this subject right away. Cheers and warm regards, ~cj http://www.chrisjordan.com Chris Jordan 6711 10th Ave NW Seattle WA 98117 USA ph 206 706 1550 Julie Rae People For Pets, SD http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/SD33.html Sioux City Shelter Stats: (July 1-Oct. 31, 2007) Impounded: 483 Dogs; 398 cats Reclaimed: 206 dogs; 1 cat Euthanized: 308 dogs; 772 cats Adopted: 130 dogs; 23 cats Average daily calls/Animal Control: 40 National statistics: Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever get a home.
