Our hearts sank at the sight of hundreds more neglected, tortured and forgotten animals, the sentient beings that their guardians had failed: bony,
hollow - eyed horses staggering under their neglected frames; slowly - starving parrots, forced to live in deplorable unnatural confines without enrichment; monkeys born into captivity, confined to their impossibly small, dank prisons cells since the day they were born, only knowing fear and loneliness,
never being able to do what comes naturally to a monkey; and chickens, rabbits, geese and so many other victims of
man.
