I LIKE them!!!! I always thought that Indian people were all very respectful and loving of animals [at least, the ones I knew and still know are!] but then I started seeing all the people that kept wild IRNs as pets there -and not even under good conditions, either! But I also realized that, in their minds, acquiring a bird poached from the wild is not considered cruelty. It's actually a VERY common practice [and a problem] in underdeveloped countries [they still do it in mine with songbirds and, believe it or not, they do it here in USA, too!] But, in India, they know that keeping and caging them is illegal and they still do it - which bothers me a lot and not because I believe that every single law should be followed blindly because I don't, but because this is one of the 'good' laws.
