In plain sight

This is a scene that plays out in full view of an audience. 

Eager families on a fun day out come to see goats being milked. The audience take a seat at a viewing gallery while goats come in batches to have machines attached to their udders, to extract every last drop of milk. 

We get a commentary on what's happening and about all the good goat's milk does for humans. A lady asks, "what happens to male goats on the farm?" Most are sold and end up on our plates, comes the reply. The answer is accepted. 

--

As the last batch of mothers move out of the milking stand, families make their way into to pens where children playfully shriek as young goats snatch hay from their hands. 

As I look around I see concrete pens. I also see individuals in those pens. Living their lives in exactly the way humans have planned.
