Yes, I do agree and do understand that wild animals have adapted definitely, but when you see cows, sheep and other "livestock" animals out in the middle of the paddock in the weather extremes, like I said, They have adapted, but don't necessarily like it and I've seen farms where one paddock will have some form of shelter- be it trees or shed and the animals will always go to them freely, but yet the farm/paddock next door has no shelters so the animals are out in the open, so that tells me that they don't really like to be out in the weather.
And yes, domesticated animals suffer so much at the hands of human use and abuse and that's why I am spending a month in Thailand in September to do nothing but volunteer at Soi Dogs (and cats), just walking, bathing and hopefully helping with rescues there too.
Maybe one day I go to South Africa to volunteer with mistreated animals there too!
