:soapbox: a it-should-be-wild life shot. turpentine creek exotic animal shelter, cruelest place i have ever seen. how selfish do you have to be to think confining an animal to a 20x20, or if they are lucky 20x50, foot cage is doing that animal a favor ? to die in slow misery, spirit slowly destroyed, removed from its habitat so some human can pat itself on the back. this place was full of big cats in particular. cages 3-5 body lengths big in any given direction. many had mange and most were pathetically despondent. lifeless eyes w/ no joy left in them. god it made me sick.
all this monkey did was pace its cell back and forth. a few steps left, a few steps right, over and over and over.
