A small stone monument honoring the animals who gave their lives for human consumption. It was originally erected next to Dalongdong Slaughterhouse in Datong District in 1931 and only moved here to the gates of Tianbao Temple (天寶宮) in the mid-1970s. A shrine has been constructed beneath the monument and you may notice animal figurines inside. It is among the oldest surviving monuments of its kind in Taiwan.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
