The top photo was taken at the Parksville SPCA by Lyn MacDonald within the last year. In my opinion this is a cruel way to keep any creature. Some got out for briefly once a day and some not at all. This is exactly how pet stores keep animals for sale.
Compare this to the way that the Forgotten Felines cats lived, free to walk around, free to choose their friends, free to choose who to sleep with, free to hide if shy.
