A farmer in China has spared the life of a two-legged lamb after being inspired by its struggle to survive. Vets have told the farmer that the birth defect could be genetic or the result of chemical pollution. “He doesn’t mind,” Cui added. “He has such a friendly personality and I don’t think he even realises he’s disabled.”

In 2003 don bartletti chronicled the 1500 mile migration route through mexico, known as “the beast” for its life threatening hazards, made by hondurans trying to reach the united states.

to avoid authorities, migrants (fourth photo) hide until the train picks up speed, risking the chance of slipping on the gravel or falling under the wheels. others, like santo antonio gamay (eighth photo) risk falling off from the fatigue of having held on for fifteen hours.

experts estimate that almost 50,000 children make this journey every year without either parent. as photographer don bartletti notes, “only the brave and the lucky reach their goal.”

but bartletti also describes how In the chiapas countryside he photographed a boy and girl race their horse alongside the train. “the fleeting scene brought a few moments of joy to young honduran stowaways who have learned to fear the worst from people along the rails.”
