… to bring the world into focus. This award winning photo is one of those times:

Regardless of the economy, compassion shouldn't have boundaries.

If anyone goes "ew!" remember that humans drink cow's or goat's milk for no good reason. This woman is poor and yet has found a way to feed two needy babies.

What a wonderful contrast this woman is to the people who take the milk of other animal mothers and deny the baby animals any nourishment. A truly beautiful woman.

This is the most precious thing I've seen in a long time. Cried and smiled at the same time and "eww" never even came into my mind.

That photo brought me to tears. We are NOT different from them. They feel fear hunger love...to feel an eww feeling is just a sign of who we have become. I was walknig my dogs I have four from the shelter through the botanic gardens and they were getting all tangled up in their leashes making people have to walk around us. Those people were angry at us for this...you could tell. I wanted to say "oh yeah humans need MORE space that doesn't include any animals than we already have." This woman is doing waht SHOULD be natural. Thank you beautiful lady

I have seen photos of native Brazilian Indians doing this with orphaned mammals and a friend of mine told me her mother saved an abandoned puppy this way so it seems to be a natural thing for people with natural empathy for other creatures.
