Given it's my day off I thought I would post this slightly provocative piece.
It is worth reading what you can find on the behavioural sink model that underpins the piece. The video Molpet linked to made me think of it and I had the link, so ...

To me the worse thing is that there are far more confining ways they are being kept.

Worth a read.
I believe the EU is committed to cage-free by 2027.

I knew about the rat experiment. I think a precise was published in the paper @ the time & I have used it for years to argue against big, centralised schools, inner city high rises & other forms of population overcrowding. It is one of the scariest things I've ever read but the sad part is we've not learned anything from these experiments.
