The aerial shot, taken by the photojournalist Ed Ram, shows the devastation of Kenya’s drought, which has left people and animals struggling for food and water.
Already weak, the animals had died after they got stuck in the mud, according to Getty Images. They were trying to reach a nearby reservoir, although it had almost dried up, the agency reported.
The carcasses were moved to the outskirts of Eyrib village in Wajir County to prevent contamination of the reservoir water.
People used to be able to go their whole lives without seeing anything this sad on another continent. Now we’re just inundated with this shit every second
I know willful ignorance isn’t a good thing but kinda feel like our brains aren’t equipped to deal with all the bad shit we see every day
Animal extinctions, rampant wildlife suffering, and devastation of forests, low-lying communities, and farmlands brought to everyone by the greed and avarice of American oil producers who knew of this impact since the 70s but refused to stop their destruction of the only planet we have. Here are the murderers:
ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond
Darren W. Woods
Seven Reinemund
Susan Avery,
Angela Braly,
Ursula Burns,
Kenneth Frazier,
Joseph Hooley
Steven Kandarian
Douglas R. Oberhelman
Samuel J. “Sam” Palmisano
And many, many, former directors and board members.
Broke my heart. I’m so sad and infuriated about this I can’t put it into words. And the worst thing is that no one gives an actual fuck. Ordinary people don’t care and those who profit from the environmental disaster couldn’t be happier about their apathy. My heart breaks for all wildlife who suffer and perish because of our greed.

Crazy picture took my eyes a second to adjust.
This is truly heartbreaking
i couldve gone all day without seeing this, so sad
Wow I really wish I hadn’t clicked on this.
There is at least one giraffe missing from this picture
Sad but shouldn’t the corpses be all torn up by one of the many predators there?
They all just…died in a pile like that?
When did this happen?
cLiMaTe cHaNgE Is a hOaX!!!

Damn this made me sad
This world is hell.
That’s a strong image.
Fucking heartbreaking.
Well fuck
This is horrific and important for people to see.
Climate Change deniers should be tried at the Hague.
I imagine in 100 years all that people will have to look forward to is holograms at the natural history museum because we took nature for granted.
Welp, this choked me up.
Such majestic creatures. It’s a shame they died like this.
This is so sad. My gut hurts now.
This has affected me mentally this pic 😢

This is devastating.
I cried. This really hurts to look at.
Fuck me that’s about as depressing a photo as I’ve ever seen. Speaks for itself.
This hurts me. I picture dogs in the same position. I picture cats in that position. I picture people in that position. How their throats must feel.
I’m sorry giraffes

This is incredibly sad. But people need to see it
What is it, a Pulitzer? Somebody get this photographer a Pulitzer! – and the rest of us a stiff drink
It took me longer than id like to admit to realize this wasnt satalite imagery of dry waterways in Kenya.
the White Walkers are coming
I was not prepared to see that.

We did that, us, human plague
Drought worldwide.
Frogs in a pot.
Terrifying image, but we could honestly use more like this to help sell the gravity of the situation. Great shot by the photojournalist.
There’s something really disturbing about this, like some morbid foreshadowing that looms over us in the distant future
My heart hurts….. =[
