HELP Spread Awareness

Hello, my name is Arturo and I'm asking for your help to complete a project I've had in my mind for several years. I would like to bring awareness through my pictures of the silent calls made by animals in captivity and hopefully show the difference through photographs of animals in the wild.

Sadly, my project came to an abrupt stop last weekend when I went to Lands End in San Francisco looking to capture some images. As soon as I got to the parking lot and got out of the car, I was punched on my chest and knocked to the ground. In less than one minute, before I could even get up, the thieves got into an awaiting car and drove away with a lifetime of savings, all in a bag containing my camera equipment.

After making a police report, the officers told me that it was a normal occurrence due to the shortage of officers in the city and because there's no punishment for thieves when and if they are caught. Hope this situation changes with our laws here in California and in this beautiful city of San Francisco... Criminals should be behind bars, not our Monkeys and other animal friends.

Please help me continue this journey and my love for wildlife and photography...

Thank You,

Arturo
