Here is a shocking look at some social renegades that don't have much of a choice in their living conditions in a place you wont find anywhere near CNN's top 50 Hong Kong sightseeing tips! These people are stuffed into mesh wire boxes that are said to be size of coffins, it is comparable to living even under animalistic conditions in one of the worlds most wealthy cities. Many only have enough room to just straighten their legs and sleep in the fetal position. The corners of the cages can be seen with clothing and blankets stuffed next to pictures of loved ones.
It really makes you wonder how people persevere and continue to live in these conditions, an official figure in 2007 shown that an estimated 53,000 people were existing in cages. It is extremely hard to even call this living it is more like surviving.
It makes me wonder how waste is dealt with in a high density populous like that it is hard to even imagine what has to be done. Entertainment or socializing appears to be very voided to the point this looks more like imprisonment where the prisoners are almost conditioned into the inability to resist their current state.
I wish it were possible for everyone to live under the best and most humane conditions. I agree that the family's needs to take hold of their loved ones and care for them. In many ways situations occur in peoples lives where they lose all members of their family or abandoned, what must become of these people and who will stand for them? I hope life turns around for the better with these poor souls, if anything is ever done. Let me know what you think and what could be done to resolve an inhumane thing like this?
Stay tuned for the next Social Renegades as more content is soon to come in this category!
Until Next time take care!
