The Great Cage Escape

ENGLISH

This book was selected by the Gauteng Department of Education for inclusion in its current Projects 1980 (Library Rescources) and 2028 (LTSM)

When a parrot is found one morning on the doorstep of a pet shop, things take a dramatic turn.

"As pleasure-seekers and pain-avoiders like us, all sentient creatures deserve to be treated fairly and justly. Their most precious possession – that which allows “the spark of life” to glow brightly – is their freedom.

The Great Cage Escape captures poignantly the importance of freedom, and shows that heaven waits on the other side of the cage bars..."

​— Jonathan Balcombe: Animal Behaviourist and Author

Gedurende die 1990’s het Mannetjieshond en Boetie - en die Vaalhaas - op ‘n plasie tussen Kuilsrivier en Stellenbosch in die Wes-Kaap gebly. In daardie tyd het die skrywer, Louise van der Merwe, ook in die area gewoon en het sy die gebeure sien ontvou.
