To be prevented from performing the most basic instinctual behaviours causes tremendous suffering. Even animals caged since birth feel the need to move around, groom themselves, stretch their limbs or wings and exercise. Herd animals and flock animals become distressed when they are made to live in isolation or when they are put into groups too large for them to be able to recognise other members. In addition, all confined animals suffer from intense boredom some so severely that it can lead to self-mutilation or other self-destructive behaviour.
