Animal's rights

Re: Animal's rights

This world is a cage too. If you release them then will still be confined to this world , so I guess provide them the luxury of space exploration , if you feel such a humane bond with them.
A bird's life is limited to the space it has to itself. Do you see those birds in cage having a long face for being caged ? I guess not , hence it is the proof that they are happy where they are and let the owners of those pets be happy too , those birds in cages serve a good purpose too , they provide joy and company to their masters.

Re: Animal's rights

a bird in a cage will most likely outlive the bird in the wild

just like polar bears in zoos have outlived polar bears in the wild

Re: Animal's rights

I don't think small animals like hamsters and frogs need much space. Good food and grooming can keep them happy. Although, I don't like birds caged up.

Re: Animal's rights

^ even fish - they get to have their own space clean water yummy food ornaments plus they are food to no other

its more like living in a hotel, than a cage

Re: Animal's rights

Yep they are saved from predators and get good food ,which is becoming hard to find for them with so much urbanization.

Re: Animal's rights

Mirch and SK, I just hope that guys are joking.

Re: Animal's rights

^ I don tknow about mirch, but im serious

Re: Animal's rights

^ And I thought that you are 'sher kee ek din kee zindagi, geedar kee so saal kee zindagi se behtar hay' kind of guy. I am surpised that you are supporter of caged animals vs free animals.

Re: Animal's rights

^ yes i am, my 'personality' and fish, birds, cages, etc. are two diff things lol

Re: Animal's rights

diff standards for diff beings, hmmm. OK

Re: Animal's rights

I am serious too. I am animal rights activist too , it does not mean that caging a bird is usurpation of its right to fly , it can fly in that cage all it wants.

Re: Animal's rights

lol, man this sounds so cruel that I dont even know what to say in return.

Re: Animal's rights

exactly, its just like keeping your kids at home and locking the door rather than letting them run around on the road

Re: Animal's rights

nahi yar, thats not it, sometimes we have to choose different things for others that we may not choose for ourselves

Re: Animal's rights

Agree.

Re: Animal's rights

God intended the birds to fly or he would've given them birth with a cage. Caging a bird is stripping her of her God's given right. To me that is cruel. You can all argue that you are caging the bird to secure her from the harms of real world, but that would just be your own logic.

Re: Animal's rights

^does the logic make sense or not?

Re: Animal's rights

By caging a bird you are saving it from :
Snakes
Lizards
Frogs
Salamanders
Spiders
Other Birds like Hawks and Falcons
Cats
Dogs
Ferrets
Foxes
Weasels
Monkeys
Apes
And on and on.

Re: Animal's rights

agree......
why the need to protect the bird?
likely we are caging them for our own pleasure.
if we do not interfere with nature there would be no need to protect any species.....

Re: Animal's rights

There is a huge diff between natural habitat and a cage.
