Lucy the emu made a break for freedom on Monday…

As I read “her owner would like to catch her and bring her home…”

…I thought “she already IS home…”

Funny how because they can’t speak about their wishes…that those wishes are ignored.  No human being wants to be caged–and yet…here “she” is making a break for it, so her/his wishes are clearly to be free, as she/he was meant to be.

**updated 3.25.14 — poor Lucy was captured.  The article and a commenter stated that she/he was now “safe”.  Hello?  She may be safe living in captivity, but is she happy?  It never ceases to amaze me how frightened people would rather be caged and “safe” than free and taking the risks that go with that….and they project that onto wild animals.
