every time my daughter and i saw animals being kept in cages our hearts hurt a lot.
they either look very hopeless / deadened; or still try hard to escape.
the worst being these animals are kept in very small cages and are visited by very few people, making their sacrifice of freedom even less worthwhile.
the look of that hornbill stayed with me for a long time. it turned its head parallel to the floor to look up directly at the sky / sun, unmoved, seemingly a silent protest against lost of freedom / a desperate call for being freed… its colour fades, its partner hiding in shades, did not even want to come out..
even if there is a need to keep animals in captivity, at least we should provide them with better environments.
walk in aviary might be a better choice . at least various types of birds can co-exist in a much bigger space with greater and closer human contacts.
to single out one / a few species and keep them in a small cage is almost criminal. animals have their basic right to be free, too. they certainly deserve much better treatment while “imprisoned” .
may all be freed, may humans have greater consciousness and respect for all other creatures, so that we can co-exist joyfully, peacefully…
Blessings be to all!
