If You Love Something, Set It Free…

Sunday, May 6th, 2007 • Filed under At-Large, Other

If it comes back to you, then you’ve found a sign of true love. If it comes back to you dead, then it’s a sign of sheer stupidity.

DORSET, England (BBC News) — Two rescue birds have died after a hole was cut in the fence of their aviary in order to let them free.

The birds were two of three released from the Bournemouth Central Gardens Aviary in Dorset on Friday. The third bird returned of its own accord.

Freeing the birds in fact caused their deaths, police said.

There’s a sick ironic lesson here. Imprisonment ensures life, but freedom carries a risk of death. Yea! How’s that for literary genius? Kiss my ass, Aesop.

The people who released the animals were not caught, but police said they have committed a crime. I assume those charges could include vandalism, destruction of property and violating local animal leash laws.

The good news is one of the three birds returned to the sanctuary on its own accord safe and sound. The bad news is it was in a bucket from Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    Captivity Rules!

    In Captivity:
    You are guaranteed to have food 24/7
    In The Wild:
    Forage, forage, forage, only to have someone bigger comes and steals what you found.

    In Captivity:
    You are out in the open air but nothing can harm you (exept idiotic animal rights protesters), the cage is more for keeping them out than keeping you in!
    In The Wild:
    Cant relax, PREDATORS!

    In Captivity:
    You get sick, you get taken to the vet, and healed or painlessly put to sleep.
    In The Wild: You get sick, you die a horrible, painful death!
