Exotic Cruelty is an editorial illustration depicting the impact of wildlife smuggling. Shown in the piece is a taxidermy tiger hide displayed in the living room of a wealthy home. The tiger's bleeding eyes create a pool of blood on the floor, revealing that it still feels pain. Wildlife trafficking is unfortunately still a business today, ranking to be the third most valuable illicit commerce in the world.
