“It is insulting to suggest that retired, elderly individuals can be entertained by watching miserable birds spend their entire lives unable to follow their instincts. Cages deny birds all that is natural and important to them—including room to fly, fresh air, and enough water to bathe in.”

—Cloris Leachman, in a letter she wrote with PETA to retirement facilities on releasing caged birds and other animals kept on the premises into more appropriate environments.

Jada Pinkett-Smith Regrets Caging Boa Constrictor

Well, maybe she regrets buying a boa constrictor because it has to stay in a cage. Letting an animal like that roam around the house might bring surprises during your 2am snack time.

Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, wife of Will Smith, bought a red-tailed boa constrictor named Beauty. Having to keep Beauty in a cage for most of the time has made Jada sympathetic to the conditions caged animals live in and she vows to never buy an animal that has to be confined like that again.

She told Contact Music, “I think I’ll never get an animal like a snake again where I have to keep her in an aquarium.”

“We have this whole thing for Beauty outside for her, to be in a natural habitat. But at the end of the day, she knows she’s caged into her aquarium.”

In addition, she told her daughter, Willow, “we won’t do this again and won’t have any animals that need to stay like that.”

The experience has made her think about becoming an animal activist in the years to come.

We wonder if the Mrs. Fresh Prince knows that an easy way to become an activist, of course, is to reduce or cut the consumption of animals from your diet.

Not to worry. Once Pamela Anderson gets word, we’re sure she’ll jump on the chance to help fellow mom Jada make any transitions she needs to become a full-fledged activist.
