Cattle...


I thought this wee snap that I managed to take last night was pretty cool. The Karamojong people don't really like camera's...the reason being that they're not really sure what they are...they told Robert that they come from evil spirits so I've had to try and get my snap when they aren't looking.

The cattle to these people really do mean everything. They treat them as God's and see them as precious animals. The more you have the better your status in the Karamojong tribe. They even trade cattle for brides here, infact I think they see the cattle more precious that the women that they intend to marry.

This has been a real eye opener for me.

Bye for now,

Jess
