I was looking for the facebook site where people make posters about how having rabbits in cages is not cruel- so I was google searching that and then found this....
People living in rabbit hutch like cages and The cages look dirtier than a rabbit hutch, very sad. It kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it? While animal rights activists vilify breeders for raising rabbits in hutches there are people who live in cages in China- why don't the animal rights activists go help them, I guess they only care about animals.

That is Agenda 21. They've got places like that in New York, about the size of a small storage unit. In fact, when I first saw a video of it, I thought, man they're allowing them to live in a storage facility? That's illegal in VA. I used to manage a storage facility. In some of the larger cities like Richmond, the homeless will wait until after business hours and break in, climb up over the walls and find a storage room that is empty and move in.
One fella, has the storage facility completely furnished with cardboard box wardrobes, box bookshelves, etc. He even somehow managed to put a small mattress in there.
Boarding houses used to be the norm in tourist areas such as the Eastern Shore, VA and Orlando FL. That's where the homeless, day labor and low income workers lived. I've lived in them. They take a house, divide the rooms in half or quarters, depending on what they can get by with. Then they charge you rent by the week. Some have a common kitchen. Some allow a hot plate if it's a nice place they also have a shared laundry area.
They charge high rent. Most don't allow you to cook, but there's always a Chinese restaurant takeout place in the neighborhood or something similar and that's what you live off of. If you can manage to save enough money to get out of there, good. Most don't.
In fact, the stress of living like that takes it's toll and then you aren't capable of doing anything. A lot of people turn to drink because they feel hopeless.
Some end up there because of drinking, divorce or other problems.
No, what is happening in Hong Kong isn't new at all. It's just probably the first time most people have seen something like that.
Agenda 21, hopes to get most people living like that. Small footprint. That's part of what the Tiny House movement is about.
That's also part of why they are trying like crazy to do horrible things to homesteaders. Take their property because they live off-grid, kill their pigs, fine them to death, kill their sheep, dump out their milk. Make it illegal to harvest rain in rain barrels, rip up gardens from people's yards, ban raising rabbits, small birds, chickens...whatever...Anything to disrupt self-sufficiency that they can't track/and or control.
And if we don't stand up...you all just got a glimpse of your future.
Similar to what they did in Cuba when they had the fuel crisis there. People that refused to farm their land, and grow enough for the community, lost it and it was given to somebody else. Didn't matter if they owned it. It was taken away and given to somebody that would feed everybody else.
