One measure of civilization used the way in which any society treated its weakest members. Today we might broaden this and add how it treats its animals. In England deep changes regarding the cultural place of animals have been underway for centuries. The notion of human rights extended to animal rights. And domestic pets becoming animal companions. As the idea of human mastery over nature speeds to the rubbish heap on a wave of ecological threats and disasters different approaches to all life on planet earth are inevitable. And strangely enough those who treat animals cruelly are not any better in their treatment of their fellow citizens(See studies on the behavior of American serial killers towards animals when the killers where children)

Good luck to Anapka in securing her loving new home! It doesn't have to be equipped with mirrors - she's so gorgeous. Just plenty of love and care in the English countryside.

That is absurd. I just can't belive what people a capeble to do...the animal had no joice for he can't speak so it's forced...poor creature. Good that there's still nice people who go and help these animals.
