Slavery!

Stuffedster doesn't know what this parrot's name is. He's likely been held captive for most of his life by an evil syndicate of entrepreneurs. These shysters kidnap magnificent creatures (such as this parrot) at an early age and force them to sell cheap wares. Their audience is, however, unsympathetic and they mostly ignore his presence. This parrot sits in his cage and says things like, "Pretty boy," and "Polly wants a quarter." It's obvious that his spirit is broken. His lack of charm ensures that his freedom was taken in vain. Only young children fall for his dispirited act.

Stuffedster would like to call attention to the plight of these animals. Anyone who knows of other captured creatures should send pictures and information to Stuffedster so that their stories can be posted here and shared with others. Perhaps, eventually, this sort of cruelty will be halted. See sidebar for submission information. Thank you.
