Would you like to get $ 2,500 easily All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. However,there is a catch! You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio. You can’t leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every movement.
Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. The purpose was to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $ 5,000 out of his own money to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.
To Rob's surprise,quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected two young people, Eric and Pam. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience , which would take place in an art museum.
The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn’t stand up without bending their heads. They ate mash (a kind of food for animals) and drink water from a garden hose(软 管). Their only private space was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no mirrors or toothbrushes in the cage. Visitors who came here were warned,“Do not feed the humans.”
Finally,it was over, and Pam and Eric came out of the cage. They had survived the week, and they each had $ 2,500. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes,and ate a chocolate bar right away. "It's great for me to be able to stand up. " he said. Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn't want to talk to anyone.
