Brazilian artist denounces the "eternal confinement" that animals live in | Video

Sao Paulo, May 2 (EFE), (Camera: Wallace Carvalho).- Brazilian artist Eduardo Srur exhibits since Monday in the heart of Sao Paulo three works of urban art made with plastic remains and cages, with which he seeks to show the relationship between humans and animals and denounce the "eternal confinement" to which they are subjected in zoos.

Translation:

"The idea was born during the pandemic. We felt in our own skin how difficult it is to be confined, we lost the right to come and go. So why do we still treat animals that way, why do we leave them imprisoned in cages and aquariums for human entertainment?"

"The aquarium is an illusion, because it deceives with that beauty underwater, but deep down they are big prisons"

"Brazil is the country with the highest rate of wildlife trafficking on the planet. There are almost 40 million animals that are removed from their natural habitat to be sold and traded. This is a crime and it has to stop. A happy bird is a free bird".
