I Have Too Much Stuff

I see animal sanctuary caretakers the same as the previous owners of the animals. They talk about how the animals shouldn't be kept as pets and how it's such a tragedy but what they really did is find a loophole to do the same.

Never been to one. How is it like? A reservation?

@Miram They are smaller than reservations, more akin to a high quality zoo when it comes to enclosure space. They do take in neglected animals but one took Michael Jackson's tigers after he died so aside from being better cared for in some cases, in this one the animals just needed a new home.

@Jackaloftheazuresand I want to go with you and see how they live and are treated 😘 Do you dislike it when they are put in smaller spaces?

@Miram I don't know if sanctuaries are open to visitors. I've never been bothered by it, captive animals live poorly in one way but they live exquisitely in others. Freedom vs. standard of living as it were

@Jackaloftheazuresand I would prefer freedom.

@Miram society is like being captive, humans live improved lives but now have all these mental ailments from confining themselves in houses that are still subject to the demands of the other humans.

@Jackaloftheazuresand I agree, I don't like the modern living standards. I understand they alleviate a lot of suffering not just cause it. I always say that there was difference between a slave that was given the boots of his master to fetch wood and a slave who is sent barefoot. A slave owner who closes the gates so none of his slaves escape and one who closes it to protect them from outsiders. It's cooperation.
Same applies to being a captive.

@Miram I like that first one in particular, it has complexity and I can grasp it

@Jackaloftheazuresand @Miram I don't mean to interject lol but when you stated that society was captive Pete Seeger's Little Boxes came to mind, somehow I found it ironic 😆
