What is the difference between the vulture and the journalist?
Both are benefiting from this child's suffering. One gets yummy yummy in its tummy, the other gets updoots back home.
And the circus goes on, as even saving this child means nothing in the big scheme of things.
Africa as le starving continent is mostly a publicity stunt, a lucrative business for NGOs by acting patronizing and only showing the miserable side of Africa in order to build this imagery of skeleton potbelly kids for the mythology and getting money.
For all we know, the vulture is kinder than the photographer, as it uses its lenses merely for observation, awaiting to help cleaning the mess.
Photographer will either pretend it's not his problem or give the tribe microplastics as payment for the Pulitzer.
