THANK YOU Popcornbird!

Release your animals into the wild. Not only would they die, be depressed, and lonely the will think they did something wrong to deserve this. We are their family and you just don't drop your little brother into the woods because someone says it's bad to have him!

I KNOW! I once read an article on Peta that bird owners should release their birds into the wild! They think its cruelty to keep a bird in a cage. They think its cruelty to have a bird in a house when they would be flying outside if they were wild. If it was SO cruel, my birds would've flown away from me years ago because I take them outside ALL the time. Not ONCE have they EVEN attempted to run away, and when I open the door to the house and put them in the grass outside, they RUN back into the house, instead of running away. If they felt so confined and sad, and whatever Peta thinks, they would never run back in the house. Keeping a bird in the house is no different than keeping a cat in the house. Oh yeah, but Peta thinks its wrong to have any animal indoors. Well, with that rule applied, we humans were naturally dwellers of caves, so why don't we *free* ourselves and leave our homes, and go live in caves as we're *supposed to*. Companion animals LOVE living in houses and living with humans. In fact, it seems they THINK they are humans. Peta is cruel to tell people to release their belove furry and feathered family members to the wild. That's evil. Any bird that flies away from home and gets lost dies, unless someone finds and rescues it beforehand. Pets CANNOT live in the wild, and no responsible owner would ever take Peta's worthless advice.
