EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling cityscape of Kolkata, India, stands the majestic Burmese Pagoda, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this vibrant city. But just a stone's throw away from this architectural marvel lies a stark contrast - a zoo, where wild animals are confined in cages, a far cry from their natural habitats. This poignant photograph, taken circa 1920s, serves as a reminder of the stark reality that many animals face in the name of human entertainment and convenience. The National Council for Animals Welfare of London, a leading organization dedicated to the welfare and conservation of animals, uses this image to raise awareness about the plight of animals in captivity. The caption accompanying the image reads, "God gave us the World - Man gives us a CAGE." This powerful statement encapsulates the Council's mission to promote the freedom and rights of animals, and to advocate for their release from confinement. The animals in this photograph, with their sad and resigned expressions, seem to yearn for the freedom to roam in the wild, unfettered by the bars of their cages. It is a call to action for us, as responsible citizens, to do our part in ensuring that animals are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. The National Council for Animals Welfare of London continues to work tirelessly towards the welfare and conservation of animals, both in India and across the globe. Through campaigns, advocacy, and education, they strive to promote the idea that animals are not mere commodities to be bought, sold, or caged, but sentient beings deserving of our compassion and care. Join the National Council for Animals Welfare of London in their mission to give animals the freedom they were born to enjoy. Let us work together to ensure that the world is a place where animals can live in harmony, free from the confines of cages.
