That is absolutely lovely - just to be able to stretch his legs, feel the grass, smell the air, listen to natural sounds and other animals. There are many similar stories and they are all wonderful.

Originally posted by @great-big-steesSome animals are so endangered, we may have to intervene - not that that has always been the reason for keeping animals. I do think though that many people are involved in rescuing animals from circuses and similar arrangements, and surely that must be a very good thing.

I don't know why they reached 'historic highs' but when you overwhelm your niche, yeah things get rough for a while.
