We found ourselves in an unexpected time. The covid-19 pandemic has changed the lives of
us all. The government has ordered many measures.
Restrictions on movement in public, cancellation of events, wearing protective equipment ...
These are such measures that we can feel like
we are in a cage.
Schools have closed for schoolchildren,
students, and teachers. Teaching began online.
We had to get used to a new way of learning.
For some students, this method suits more
others less. We have space to devote to
activities that we have been postponing for a
long time.
On the contrary, we can also easily get into
procrastination and laziness. But the health of
us all is very important.
When I chose a photo on the subject of the
cage, I remembered my elementary school.
In front of the entrance to the locker rooms for
small children is the gate that is very similar to
a cage. That is why I combined the current
state of schools with a photograph from the
environment of my former school.

Their life was short but several things happened
in it. Those that no one want to hear. There is one
reason for that. Nobody wants to know it, not even
you. You're afraid of it but it is still happening.
Behind the walls and without the possibility to
escape. You are with hundreds the same like you .
From their birth they live still the same way. Who
causes these things? We all know it but no one
wants to admit it.
After several weeks they see the sun for the first
time in their life. The door of the great hall opens.
The hall where they lived until then in the light of
a lamps. Hands in gloves pull them out. They
divide them into two groups. The first group is
load into the truck. They take them away. We all
know the end. They put the second group in cages.
Each of them has enough space only that they can
turn around. Nothing more. After a year they pull them out again. Some of them people buy
and take them home. The ones no one wanted, they take them away. The end is the same.
I didn't even mention who it was. Everyone can imagine. I don't want to force anyone to do
anything. Everyone has to think about it. Is it necessary? PF

On the top of the paper is
quarantine for people, on the
bottom of the paper is all live
“quarantine” for rabbits. Rabbits
have one or two meal a day, live in
small cage. If they have luck so
they
go a
few
times to month jog in the garden. I read that minimum rabbit cage
is such that he can entre twice to diagonal of cage. Can we
imagine it? Each of us have room that is X times bigger then us.
We have food how match we wont. (Good is that the most of
Rabbits don’t know about freedom. They was born in cage, they
lived in cage and they died in the oven). Rabbits have quarantine
for all their live and we “cry” if we are in quarantine for three
months. In history most of Czech people live in “quarantine”,
behind the iron curtain. Iron curtain was on our borders for 41
years and Czech nation is still alive. The iron curtain has gone, coronavirus leaves too. Czech
Republic will survived probably better than after communism. We are already being released
from the imaginary cage and we will live on. States will gradually “heal” financial decline. We
are lucky that we live in freedom in middle of Europe and have only coronavirus as a big
problem. Daniel F.
I don’t agree with the caging of
animals.
It is best when animals can move
freely.
But for some pets a cage can be
beneficial.
For example rabbits.
If the rabbits lived in a rabbit hutch
since birth, they are pets,
so they don’t mind.
When the pens are big, clean with
plenty of food and water, the
rabbits are doing very well.
The rabbit hutch protects the pets from bad weather and predators.
You should not close wild animals in cages. Jozefína H.

Last week I read in the newspaper iDnes some
interesting information about hens. Thousands of hens are in the
factory farming. They never see the sun, never eat grass, they
can’t fly and run, they don’t have good feathers. They "live" only
for one year in the cages. Why? It is cheaper.
The association "ZAzemí" buys these one year old hens to
their small gardens-farms at six places in Liberec region and takes
care of them alternately in seven families for one day at week. The
hens see for the first time the sun, they can eat grass, run. ..... In
three months they are as the others hens in the small farms. They
are "happy". They lay eggs more years (five to ten years).
The effect isn’t only keeping the hens away from factory farming, but people learn to not
buy eggs from cages breeding. MK
Hi, this is my story. My name is Ashley, I’m blackbird. If you ask why my name is Ashley,
I don’t know, maybe because it’s Short (Everyone always called me Ash). But I don't want to
talk about this.
I want to talk about something else.
I want to talk about this…
I think I was ten months old:
“...I want out! I WANT OUT!” I was screaming in a cage.
“Shut up, you stupid bird,” Said one of those teenagers who kept me in a cage. After that he
hit it (The cage logically). Of course they didn't understand me, Because people (mostly bad
people) don't understand animals. Luckily, it was seven o 'clock in the evening, and the boys
went home. I somehow managed to unlock the cage, then I flew away, I flew long, and I stopped
by some garden. I've settled there, and I was happy. In the garden they named me Ashley. I
finally had a place, not more cages.

Even though the topic is „cage“, I won´t write about it, because I don´t feel like it. I´m having
really good time with my friends. Although this is no way a good time for the whole world, we
decided to take from it what we can. We´re staying safe, but having fun. The lockdown and
social distancing is nothing for me, but with my best friends I found the light at the end of
tunnel. ZL
When that time came, I picked to survive
Who would know it would be so hard?
My heart is still beating but I don’t feel alive
It feels like my soul fell apart
These chains are holding me back
Imprisoned in this darkness
I’m longing for just one outside check
How could they be so heartless
Picking me up just to hold me there
I thought it would be okay
In that moment I really wasn’t aware
That I would be forever away
I still remember the wind flowing my feathers
While I was flying troughs the sky
It felt like it was endless
Now I know it was a foolish lie
Yet there is no meaning for my tears
Because what was mine will never be again
My role is just be one of those birds
In this place I will now remain and be forgotten
No one will end my longing
In this dark and faraway place
But I still will be holding
I lost to the freedom in this race

We have our little friend at
home. He is a long-haired half-
year-old guinea pig. His name is
Pepča, and she has lived in a cage
all his life. I don't know how
animals perceive it, but I couldn't
live in a cage. Maybe she likes it
there, and feels safe there because
when we take her out, she goes back
to the cage. We don't know the
answer to that yet :)

Although I can feel
how I feel in a cage, I
don't have to. When I
cook good food, I
improve my soul and
body. Then I go on a
hike, along a few hills
around, my heart
doesn't hurt. Hike
isolation, or the cage
disassemble just for
fun. Views, distances,
pounds, I'm lucky
even without a cat.
However, when I can
sleep outside, I feel
like a king. Roast a
burrito on the fire, put
a sleeping bag. Chat
before bedtime with a
friend and then snore
until morning. That's
all I can say, maybe
just goodbye, nothing
more.

The little cage in our cellar was empty. She was beautiful. She was white with a glass drink,
bowl for the grain, peg for sepia and seesaw. Just let the live budgie into it. I brought the cage
to my room and waited for my parents to bring me a bird. My mother came to
kindergarten for me, and when we came home and a little green budgie was in
a cage. But don't think it was a cage for my budgie. She still had the door open
and the bird could fly around our apartment as he wanted, I just closed the gate
when the window was open so that the budgie wouldn't fly away. The cage was
in my room for twelve years, then my bird died. I wrapped the cage in papers, tied it with a
string and took it to the cellar, where it is waiting for a new bird. I don't know when it will be,
but one day I'll buy a little budgie again and put it in a cage, which is still like new and is waiting
for a new inhabitant to enjoy it. VŠ
Outside is raining very hard,
I don’t feel like going there, honestly, I’m not a bard, but I don’t even care. What about a photo of my pet, an idea appeared in my head. That’s the art I’m giving you, where my parrot became model, Its one-hundred percent true, only cause excuses are stronger. Now I’m going to the hills, quarantine killed my poem skills, so, I believe this isn’t a crime, see ya next time.

I think that the most dangerous cages are in our heads. And by that I mean those boundaries
in our heads that just say what can we do and what we can´t. They always say: You´re too
young, old, mature, stupid or fat or skinny. But we have to live outside those cages. If we will
live inside, in our comfort zones, we will never know what excitement is. What a real fun is. We
have to know people
who will put us out of
this cage even they had
one in their head too.
It´s really important to
me. Cause my best
memories were made
when I was right
outside my comfort
zone.
Nowadays I feel like in
cage in my own room.
Because I´m here way
too much. I feel like a
lion in ZOO. That´s why I find a view from my window calming. AT

Once up on a time there was a huge cage breeding chicken farm. The
cages in which they lived were too small for them they couldn’t even turn
around. Most of them were born in captivity so they didn’t really know
what is outside their cages. But once before the Corona virus epidemic
came one goose forgot to fix their cage gates. That was a big opportunity
for them to run away. They flew through the open window and saw the
nature for the first time in their lives. They had a long way to go to get
as far from this farm as possible. And luckily they made it because every
one was at home in quarantine so they could get to a lovely small
meadow. They thought of how people now fell when they are kept in
cages like them before and many of their friends till today. ŠB
A cage is a very interesting term. It can refer to several different things, which in the end all
mean the same and evoke similar feelings and emotions... Sadness, hopelessness, seclusion,
imprisonment, powerlessness and isolation.
Due to recent events a lot of people think of cages
in less of a literal sense and more in a sense of
being stuck at home, in hospital or in quarantine
without much social contact or enjoyable
activities. It can also be observed in the mindset
of many people who lost their jobs or had to close
down their businesses. They may feel trapped and
powerless, since there is no telling of what will
come in the future and they may be unsure of how
life will treat them after the crisis is over.
For me luckily none of these things apply. I don't go to work and I don't need to spend days
sitting at home, since we live close to nature. I also don't have a lack of social contact, for my
aunt, uncle and cousins live near by. We (the children) often go cycling or into the forest. I
sometimes miss my friends from school though.
The only "cage" I'm "stuck" in that I can think of is a facemask. It just leaves me longing for a
breath of fresh air for the whole time I have it on my face. It is of course mandatory to wear
them and helps protect others from you, so I think it's a reasonable sacrifice to make. JV
Trapped
I'm a Chinese lawyer under Wuhan's lockdown. My name
is Chen Qiushi and ever since the new coronavirus breakout
I've been trying to inform the world about what's going on.
However in my country it's not that easy. Speaking up is a
really brave thing to do because if the government doesn't
like it, they get rid of you. I feel like I'm trapped in a cage
debating whether to live peacefully but hide the truth or
speak up and face the consequences.
It's been a few days since I made a video and uploaded it on
YouTube. In the video I'm saying I'm not scared of the
system and that I won't stop reporting about the truth until
the day I die.
It's Thursday, 6th of February, 10:34 a.m.
I'm currently on my way home from hospital. There is
beautiful nature all around me. The smog has also
disappeared. It's so peaceful. Suddenly I feel something
hard hitting my head. That is the last thing I remember
before I disappeared. AK
Human Cage
Alone in the darkness, searching my way out at night,
Can't reach the end and find the light
I fell on my face
And I appeared in the space
I was in a cage,
and then I find a new human age
It was for all of us huge change
and it looked kind of strange
No one felt a feelings to the others,
except me to my mother
When we found each other,
we ran to our big Father
He was looking through the wall from glass
and then I knew, it was trap on us
We made something horrible,
So God did punishment possible
Others are not on this planet
We are living here forever alone with my mother Janet
