I was sleeping in my nest. The sun was starting to rise up into the sky. I woke up, and looked around. Happily, my surroundings were empty. Only me, my fellow raptors, and the electric fencing. I don't really hate life here, exept the sea of crowds surrounding my enclosure day after day. Wait! Let me clear up something! I'm a male raptor, as something in the last couple generations backfired. A loud voice says something near my enclosure and lights turn on. The park is now open!
The morning went pretty easy. Not too many visitors came to see my comrades and I. We preform a few simple things, and then, it was my favorite time of the day: morning feeding. After our little feast of a large, bulky animal lowered into our enclosure, it was over soon. Then, I remembered with dread, it was the crowd time...
A sea of visitors peered through to wires and glass to see us. However, there was two reasons we preform for those visitors: one- to stop bordem, and two- sometimes they throw little chunks of meat for us to eat. However, as much as I wonder what it would be to walk amongst those crowds, but for safety to them, I'm confined to this large, jungle-like enclosure with thick glass, electric wiring, and security cameras running all day and night. After a while of eating and preforming, the crowds leave.
After the commotion is over, my fellow raptors and I rest (and have a bit of fun) in the small lake in our enclosure. However, once it gets dark, we start to move back to our nests, and sleep.
It's usually like this, but sometimes it changes, and we do more or less things. Usually, it's preforming (or sometimes just relaxing, whatever we do the pesky crowds like), eating, and resting. However, at the end of the day, life here isn't too bad. (Though I would rather be with my younger relitaves on some other, wild island).

Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-
