The Dog-Destroyers of Cuzco - A Haunting Engraving Depicting Cruelty and Spectacle in South America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Dog-Destroyers of Cuzco" takes us back to a dark chapter in the history of Latin America. Created by Edouard Riou in the late 19th century, this engraving captures a scene from Paul Marcoy's book "Travels in South America". The image portrays an unsettling spectacle that unfolded in the streets of Cuzco, Peru. In this disturbing depiction, we witness South Americans cruelly tossing dogs into the air with ropes while wielding walking sticks as weapons. This act of animal cruelty was not only shocking but also served as entertainment for onlookers. The engraving sheds light on a practice that was prevalent during that time period. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes clear that it is more than just a representation of brutality towards animals; it symbolizes larger themes such as power dynamics and cultural clashes between Western influences and indigenous traditions. "The Dog-Destroyers of Cuzco" serves as a reminder of our shared responsibility to protect all creatures and respect different cultures. It urges us to reflect upon our own actions towards animals and consider how they are treated across different parts of the world. Through its powerful imagery, this print invites viewers to contemplate the consequences of cruelty while encouraging empathy and compassion for all living beings.
