An excerpt:
A story on the sanctuary website states: “Many were suffering from ailments caused specifically by their filthy living conditions. They lived in small sheds and animal carriers, overcrowded, living among layers of caked feces, and breathing in dust and the stench of ammonia.”
Of their new life in and around the ponds, the story explained: “They are now enjoying sunshine on their feathers, water to swim in, clean bedding, warmth, grass under their feet and room to roam for the very first time.”
It does make us think of cats and dogs that are caged up all their lives, doesn’t it? Which is better, to cage and ensure their safety all their lives, or to let them roam freely but be subjected to the dangers of our concrete jungle and non-animal friendly humans?
We don’t really know…I wish we could ask the animals!
Perhaps the Middle Way is the best of both worlds – to allow them enough freedom and an experience of nature, yet, confined for their safety?
