Wildlife sentence

Imagine a life sentence behind bars without have committing any crime. It’s unfair, but that’s essentially what humans do to many of the domesticated animals in our lives, and we extend this treatment to wildlife, too. Animal-welfare organization Born Free USA works to “keep wildlife in the wild,” and its downtown Sacramento office recently got an 85-foot-long reminder of that mission: It’s a mural by Alex “Cabron” Forster—a close-up of a tiger behind bars. “El Tigre” gets a party in Born Free’s parking lot at S and 12th streets on Second Saturday, June 9, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m., with vegan-craft vendors, comestibles by Hot Italian and Wicked ’Wich, primate paintings at Patris Studio & Gallery (1122 S Street), music, and adorable adoptable dogs. Take one home—just don’t confine it to a cage.
