Cages

    I despise cages. No living creature should be locked in a cage – no dog, cat, bird, fish, pig, sheep, cow, or lion. When I see animals in cages –at zoos, homes or factory farms – I see red. I get cage-rage. All vertebrate species feel pain and experience varying degrees of emotion. Near our home is a farm with a herd of cows in a cage. Their cage is unhygienic and stinks. But mostly it’s just cruel. Why do people who seem caring and loving turn a blind eye to the suffering of animals? Their compassion is for humans only.
