But it never occurred to me to question what zoos do to keep birds captive. In the UK, swans are protected because they all belong to the Queen so our swans are usually very healthy and robust.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497637017534547957.post-65065348042650200842013-08-31T14:01:55.314-06:002013-08-31T14:01:55.314-06:00To be the devil's advocate (but certainly not ...To be the devil's advocate (but certainly not advocating this pinioning practice) -- I wonder how many swans die in the wild due to disease, malnutrition or predation? These swans are likely fed well and enjoy a long, somewhat happy, if not perfect, life. <br /><br />A trade-off I imagine in the grand scheme of things.

L'uomo è davvero la bestia più malvagia della terra. Grazie del tuo passaggio al mio blog sulla 'libertà'. Libertà, che io ritengo essere un dono della natura a tutti gli esseri viventi, che l'uomo toglie spezzando le ali, come ai tuoi cigni.
