maldivian children ought to be taught to be kind to animals... but it won't happen unless we, as adults, lead them by example... in one island i've seen grown men amusing little kids with their key-tags of live, newly hatched chicks... even in Male' we're increasingly seeing rare, exotic birds being kept as pets... chained for most of the day, and often caged... i personally know of a few cases where the birds ended up dying after a few days/weeks, mostly due to bad care or treatment....
keeping these birds in such conditions and claiming to love them, in my opinion, is like bombing for peace... or having sex for virginity....
these are for my neighbors, who were looking at me from their balconies windows from all directions like i was some kinda retard, as i went up the ladder, posed for a few seconds, then came down... to adjust the camera, reset the timer, went up the ladder and pose for another 10 seconds before coming down again..... had to repeat at least a dozen times before i got the shot right....
