Animal Skins in Mojo Ethiopia Market I believe these are photos of the animal hides or skins, maybe of Horses and Cows here in Mojo, Ethiopia. The people in the market seldom speak English, I can take the photo, however to learn specifically what I am photographing can take days to feel certain. Yes, someone will agree with me, if I say, “Is this a Horse Hide?”
However to know for sure, they must volunteer the information, and then I must double-check their English.

There appears to be two types of skins or hides here, I believe the wrinkled ones are Horse and the more organized ones are cows. It is also possible they are goats, but they seem big for a goat.
It is possible these skins are donkeys also, I have to be lucky to just walk up and ask and learn the answers.
Leather, skins, pelts, there is a big Tannery Business thriving in Ethiopia and they say is polluting the streams. I have seen no good leatherwork done here in Ethiopia yet in my travels.

these hides represent mans brutality towards nature.killing them for their skins is worst crime and represent disease of mind who can not go beyond skin and cant see a beautiful life within.a tender creture created by god.it is a false need.today what we do to animal the same some one will do against human being.dont look at skin.but look at it as a robe or attire with which that poor creature was dressed by god.mercy so that someone may mercy u.god will be pleased.to thank him is to respect what he has created.they are most unfotunate who were born to sell animal hides.especially exotic animals whome the painter drew to make ous hearts blossom with love.too short life of man on earth is only to regret and pain and say that god you have not given me good enough time to thank u enough for what u have painted with my heart blood.
