The Eyes says it all.
Being locked up in a cage like a show piece is worst part in the life of these cute animals, and I simply hate that, but sometimes I feel that this could be the only way to protect all these animals from the hands of some ruthless people who do not care about anybody else but money.
People will do anything to kill, capture and sell these animals for huge amount of money illegally to anybody who is willing to pay the higher amount. What the zoos are doing is probably the best for these animals, at least they are not being hunted in the Jungles by poachers.
We as true lovers of animals can do something about these killings, if we avoid buying all the stuff that are made from animal skins, or anything that comes at the price of the life of a priceless living thing which does not have anything against us.
This Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 18 in Cohoes, NY. This view shows the head of the lock and the spillway entrance, looking east. This was a double lock and it was put into service in 1842. It was built largely of Amsterdam stone and was in service until about 1916. It was the last and the highest lock in Cohoes. The south chamber is partially filled in. Shown here is the spillway entrance which controlled the water level above the lock. The Cohoes locks were never lengthened during the later enlargement. Lock 18 is on the National Historic Register. It is located on North Mohawk Street across the street from the Cohoes Falls in Cohoes, NY.
The north wall of the south chamber of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 51, looking east. Lock 51 was a double-chambered lock, with the south chamber double-length on the west (foot) end. It locked down to the west, so the usual three overflow openings are on the east end. The lock which was built in 1847 had a 5.732 foot descent to the west. It replaced the original lock that was in the Village of Jordan which was demolished when the Jordan Level was extended. Located on the north side of Route 31, at the Onondaga/Cayuga county line, two miles west of Jordan, NY.
This pinhole image of a locked shed door was taken in Asten, The Netherlands, using a Brownie Hawkeye camera with the lens removed and replaced with a piece of an aluminum pin-pricked pie pan.

Locked out
Thought i had locked everyone out of the flat today, i had visions of me trying to climb through all the windows to get back in . luckily it was a false alarm and my mum had a spear key, which saved me from looking like a crazy burglar. I say this but i then went and photographed my thought and still looked like a crazy burglar

Hi! Although this probably happens a lot, it is rarely captured on film!
I thought you'd enjoy the story and pictures!

this has a happy ending for the survivor!
Locked Horns
On November 6, a relative, Dona Viereck, called to tell us that she was driving to
Canton, South Dakota and had seen a buck in the distance with his head down.
It wasn't moving, and although she honked the car horn repeatedly,
he wouldn't raise his head.
She grabbed her binoculars and looked at him, and saw that the buck's horns were
entangled with those of another one, which was dead. So she called us and asked if
we wanted an adventure -- untangling the animals!
Well, we went, pronto!!! I took my camera and we walked right up to them.
They were tangled in an old fence line just east of a golf course, where some railroad tracks had been. The live buck was on the high side, and the dead buck on the slope. The other buck had been dead for 2 or 3 days, we estimated.
Terry attempted to break a point off the dead buck's rack with his pliers, but couldn't. He tried turning the dead buck's head but the other one just became more frightened and started backing up.
The live buck had the bigger rack - a 5 x 6. The dead buck was bigger bodied and looked to be an older deer. It had more "stickers" on its rack.
The now scared buck eventually got out of the fence, and out in the open.
Terry pulled an old post out of the fence line and used it to try and pry the racks
loose, but it didn't work.
We finally decided to go to a friend's house in order to borrow his chainsaw,
but then we thought something quieter would be better,
and so got a hacksaw instead.
Terry sawed the main beam on the dead buck and then other one was free!
The buck didn't realize this for probably 30 seconds or so.
When he did, he started striking the dead buck in the face repeatedly.
He finally raised his head a little, and then a little more.
He stood there with his head held high looking at both of us and we
wondered if he were going to try charging us too!
Then he turned and ran off rather wobbly.
He went a short distance, lay down briefly,
and then got up and took off in the direction of the Big Sioux River.
Terry and Sherry, thanks for the great story and photos,
and for setting the big guy free!

another lock, not far from the first, showing more of how they work the water from one level to the next..
For those of you unfamiliar with the 'lock phenomenon' (those living with too little or just enough water around!): a lock is an instrument to regulate water levels. In a system with canals and ditches, designed to keep low lands dry, the levels of one canal will get (too) high. In order to get rid of the surplus a lock is installed. In large canals used for transport a ship can use a lock to get from a lower to hiogher level canal or the other way around. I found you a good descrition of its workings here
