1367:
The men who came up with the
idea of imprisoning hens in cages, set a trend. As pioneers of the ultimate pragmatism, they
invented and then developed the caging system. Many of them went on to build other prisons,
for other animals. The ‘factory farm’
came into being. Perhaps the idea came
from a ‘death-camp’ mentality, giving a clue to the main weakness of humans -
our ability to turn a blind eye for the sake of our own convenience, and to be
able to dodge our ethics when it suited us.
