There’s no way out. I have long dreamt of the world that extended beyond these boundaries. It’s suffocating to say the least. I wonder what it would feel like to have the chance to breathe some fresh air because the air within these confines is rancid. I wonder what it would be like to feel blades of grass beneath me – it would be freedom. I wonder if the hundreds of others who live like me feel the same. Hope seems like the only thing that is keeping me whole. Yet hope, although it is still there, seems futile.

I don’t know if I will see much change. But dreaming about change does not cost me a thing. I dream and I hope that someday they will let me out of this cage. I might even be lucky enough to stretch my legs because it seems like a long time since I felt them. Please… help me.

So I’m guessing that the above might be something the caged animals might be thinking or feeling. It’s hard to think that in this day and age, we are still just as barbaric as before. We recently watched a video from Animals Australia called Make it Possible. It saddened us to see the things that go on behind the scenes in the animal trade in Australia and abroad. Sometimes we take for granted the lives that we lead and often forget how lucky we are to have freedom and individualism. Click the link below to watch the short clip.

Also, check out Animal Australia’s website at http://www.makeitpossible.com/ and see all the great work they are doing.

I will save the New Year post for next week. It seems wrong to dilute the emphasis on the above issue. Hope you have been well.
