Happy?Feet, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

Happy Feet is one of those movies you don't expect anything but light entertainment from until the real message carries through: mankind's destructive habits, exploitation and inconsideration for nature. I think the most disturbing scenes were of Mumble being captured and put on display.

As much as I appreciate observing animals in a Zoo or exhibition I can't help but notice the lethargic expressions and movements due to cages and displays that are often too small to offer sufficient space and variation. 'Happy Feet' had a happy ending. But I am not too sure about the little fellows in this photo. I'd be happier to know that they'll be released one day - into a natural habitat no longer ravaged and exploited by us = the consumer. No consumer - no exploitation. I think we can all do our part to make this happen.
