Artist's Commentary (warning- depressing):
"I’ve been watching a lot of videos by North Korean defectors and it’s heartbreaking how much they talk about starvation. Even the animals are tiny from malnutrition and as one defector put it “It’s a nation of starving people feeding on starving animals”
`
They don’t even have baby formula so if a woman dies in childbirth the father becomes a beggar who walks from door to door with the infant, asking women if they have enough breast milk to please feed their child.
`
I highly recommend you look North Korean defectors up on YouTube. It’s extremely eye opening."
I was posting this mostly because it weirdly coincided with a conversation I just had an hour before finding this meme about large bunnies, but felt it was prudent to include the artist commentary anyway
