look at a crowd of people you will also see some that don’t look very happy..but would the animals look happy in the wild? Hunting for their food, migrate hundreds of miles to get water, and have to be on the look out for lions, tigers, buffalo and man, all looking to eat you...that is depressing, add to that starvation, death via infections and wounds...males going bonkers on each other during the rut...its not all a bed of roses out in the wild...or leaving home and having to support yourself.....:O)
Maybe you’re right. Perhaps animals are a lot happier being locked up where they’re well fed and safe from predators. Well, not American, god fearing animals. They believe in freedom and the right to run around and eat- and be eaten.
