@ryna03 4 месяца назад

I think if it was you, a child of yours or another family member put in a locked cage you might disagree. No choice in privacy, no freedom to experience nature, to roam freely, to only eat what is given and to have other species gawk at you without consent. Please don't act as if you would be ok with your freedom or your family's freedom being stolen. If you think you are ok with it, how about you volunteer to be a test subject for the rest of your natural life. Then we can see how at least one person's mental state handles being a prisoner. @@caitlinreilly9347

@ryna03 4 месяца назад

@@caitlinreilly9347also just because the enclosure doesn't have bars doesn't mean it's acceptable. Clear glass, windows or whatever still doesn't negate being held against their will. In fact, ask some people serving life. Do they want to be free to feel the grass on their feet? To swim in a lake? To climb a mountain? To take a drive or go for a jog? I mean come on. I'd rather live my life with the choice to go where I want as I choose. Even if I was told I'd live 30 years versus 60 in captivity. Nothing is meant to be caged.
