I think it is safe to say that yes, an intelligent animal is unhappy, even downright miserable, being confined to a crate two by seven feet for months on end. The meat industry loves to squeal that “the cost of bacon will rise” whenever it’s faced with pressure to change. Farm Animal Welfare, ASPCA New York, Feb.

As Mattison says, “Frogs are unlikely to be mistaken for any other type of animal.” This exhibit has been making the rounds of science museums, and if comes to your area I highly recommend it, not just for kids.
