SAFETY AND HAPPINESS,
(To the Editor.)
The argument that animals are hap pv a) the Zoo bccause they are sa f e seems to singularly unsatisfying. I n this a» e 0 f , traffic and level crossings we alt ?0r daily and hourly, yet how manv of choose a safe incarceration in preferenJ* those times of unemployment how many i u J ask for a life sentence in order to »L\x *1 risk of starvation ? There is a song wil, If* lines'"l envy the eagle his unshackled ffir® I envy the hawk in his silence alone" tv"' I suppose, should be rewritten "I em-v tr' eagle his wooden and wire cage, I erivv f bear on his concrete and stone." e LIBERTY.
