However, when faced with the formidable bird, he becomes so overwhelmed by its size and presence that he drops his axe and contemplates giving up meat altogether.

Set against the backdrop of customs surrounding holiday feasts, this photograph challenges viewers to consider their own relationship with food and animals. It serves as a reminder of the ethical dilemmas inherent in our choices about what we eat, inviting us to reflect on how our actions impact other living beings.
