Artist and animal lover Brooke Barker's been sharing her sad animal facts (with clever and cute illustrations) on her Instagram for just a couple of months, but already, her followers have, in her words, "learned and laughed, and gotten slightly depressed." Here are a few of the bits of bad (animal) news, but no worries. These ones are cute; I left the really sad ones out.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
