I was in an ironmongery the other day which was filled with
tiny cages, many with birds on their own. A beautiful goldfinch was hopping
about in a tiny prison about 10 inches long by 8 broad and 8 high.
I could have cried for the poor little thing. Even for a bird which has long years of domestication behind it, like a budgie or a canary, this would still have been a crime.
Pets? - Just how cruel we are to so
many!
