In class we spoke about advocacy websites like the Mental Disability Advocacy Centre ( http://www.mdac.info/) . I am particuarly touched by the report on Cage Beds (http://www.mdac.info/documents/118_MDAC_Cage_Bed_Report.pdf). How can these people be treated less than humans? Even some lucky animals belonging to rich owners get better treatment than these poor souls. Advocacy websites like this have really opened up my eyes to ridiculous things happening out there in the world. At least these individuals have someone to defend their rights.
