A horse searches food in the dumping area. The owners let the horses roam around the city in search of food hoping the animals would survive by eating grass on meadows and fallow land as they can not feed them properly. But Cox's Bazar in recent years has also been transformed into a city of concrete and bricks. It is no longer the same old small beach town of open spaces, meadows or grass covered roadsides. And whatever grass was there on the roadsides, had already been cut by farmers to feed their cattle.One of the horse owners Farida Bagum said: “ we are struggling to feed ourselves let alone the horses.”
