I think the rings are obscene and the Cuckoos and Ospreys flying around with satellite backpacks strapped to them are victims of animal cruelty. Just my opinion.
What really is obscene are the 90% to 95% declines in numbers being experienced by formerly quite common birds, but for which we have little idea of the cause. <sarc>Once these species have gone extinct, there will be no further cause for your concern about animal cruelty - in their case at least.</sarc>
P.s. If you want to see real animal cruelty, have a look on YouTube at some of the covertly-taken videos from slaughter houses - especially those specialising in religious ritual procedures.
