30 Days Of My Public Journal - Day 3

Today my waking hour was around 9.00 and given that I slept last night somewhere around 02.10, I slept around 7 hours. After I woke up I had breakfast and went with my girlfriend to a local company were she needed to go to get some data for her final paper at the university. We got there around 10.15 and the whole thing took about 50 minutes and then we went to see what animals were at the Zoo.

I personally haven't been to the Zoo in a couple of years, and being there today really made me happy. There were about 15-20 big animals there, like tigers, lions, bears, emu, crocodiles, etc and also some smaller fish and snakes. It was really relaxing to just stroll around the Zoo and look at those pretty animals. The only thing that bothers me is that they aren't free. They are in cages, while their spirits desire freedom.

Most of the animals have just got used to being there, in cages, and I think they have just accepted the idea that they will never be out. If it were up to me I would just take them and set them free in the wild. Whenever I see a caged animal I put myself in that animal's place and believe me, it's not pretty at all. Sitting there in a small cage, with a lot of people just staring at you, day after day. Nothing new happens and you die. This is no way to live, animal of human.

Seeing all of this made me wonder: "Do we really need to have caged animals? Why do we need them like this? Is it so important that out children see the animals and know how they really look like? Can't this be done some other way? Would we like if we or our children would be looked down in cages for other forms of lives to see and analyze?" It's just inhumane to keep a living creature in a cage. It slowly starts to die the moment you put it in that lousy cage.

We people are the worst kind of animals. We kill for sport and sometimes even enjoy killing. we close animals in cages just so that we can look at them. Why can't we just accept the fact that all animals must be free? Why must we make these mistakes over and over again and hurt animals and other people as well? Why can't we just let our good side out in the open and take decisions based on what out hearts is telling us? Why?

You should have seen the vulture. He was so beautiful and his power was sparkling from his eyes, but something was wrong. He couldn't fly anymore because the cage he was in was just too damn small. He just couldn't spread his wings and fly, even for a second. If he only could, he would surely feel a lot better. And you know what the worst part is? I'm sure that the people that are responsible of putting these animals in cages are trapped in cages of their own. They can't fly either, because if they could, they would have seen from the air that eagles are free and do not belong in cages. If they only could fly...but they never will, although it's so easy for them. People are never trapped in cages. No one can do that except themselves.

After this good and bad experience at the Zoo, we went to my grandma's and had munch and after that we took a short nap of 2 hours :)) (pretty short right :)) We left my grandmother's house at about 16.30 and went to Diana's parents were we just watched TV and ate some roasted sun flower seeds until about 19.30 when we ate dinner and after that talked a little bit and then I headed to take a bath and minute after minute, the clock is now 23.30 and I'm writing this.

It was a sunny day and I'm glad we enjoyed this day with a lot of walking. See you tomorrow! Have a great day of your own!

I embrace you,
Razvan
