Lumps In Our Throats

Our visit to the parrot refuge was a draining and emotional one. It is amazing that in this day and age there are still ignorant people that think animals were put on this earth for humans to use at their disposal. It was gut wrenching to see the physical shape of some of those birds; a direct result of the physical and emotional abuse they suffered while under the care of their "loving families".

Education is key. Learn first. We are a people of the 21 century and there is no excuse for our lack of knowledge or compassion.
