Ingrid Betancourt

In captivity, one loses every way of acting over little details which satisfy the essentials of life. Everything has to be asked for: permission to go to the toilet, permission to ask a guard something, permission to talk to another hostage - to brush your teeth, use toilet paper, everything is a negotiation.

Colombian Politician

Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj

There are nations, where people live in captivity, fear and silence. I believe, one day from prison camps and torture cells and from exile the leaders of freedom will emerge. The world should stand with those oppressed people until the day of their freedom finally arrives.

Mongolian Politician

James Foley

English Actor

Willa Cather

All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.

American Author

Nadia Murad

I will go back to my life when women in captivity go back to their lives, when my community has a place, when I see people accountable for their crimes.

Iraqi Activist

Hilda Solis

No family should have to depend on the labor of its children to put food on the table and no person should be forced to work in captivity.

American Politician

K. A. Applegate

I think we have a real obligation when we do have animals in captivity to understand their needs and to care for them as well as we can.

American Writer

American Actor

Human vs. Animals

'Captivity' implies a lack of freedom by force, not by the individual's choice.

Not a Choice

This use of 'captivity' describes a metaphorical, not physical, lack of freedom.

Captivity can refer to intangible things that control someone, like emotions or habits.

Non-tangible Forces

This captivity implies a harmful relationship with the dominating force.

Negative Connotation

 And and yeah, it's quite rewarding, actually. So what's your hope for the future of this place? Well, I hope with with more awareness raised around these animals that people will be able to take better care of them in captivity. And we'll see the numbers that are needing to come into the rescue reduced because we are almost at full capacity here.
