BOSTON -- Protesters at the Democratic National Convention in Boston 
apparently won't be kept in a box. 
Protest permit applications show many protests planned outside the so-called 
"free speech zone" next to the FleetCenter. 
The zone ensures protesters are allowed within sight and sound of delegates, 
but many are branching out. 
For instance, the Boston Globe reports the anti-abortion group Operation 
Rescue will hold a vigil outside John Kerry's Beacon Hill home. 
The New England Anti-Vivisection Society plans to distribute "Cruelty-Free 
Living Kits" downtown. 
In Copley Square, a group called Boston Mobilization will use wooden frames 
with wire mesh to simulate prison cells at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. 
Mayor Thomas Menino's spokesman said Menino welcomes the demonstrations as 
part of a lively democracy.

"Not having known anything better does not alleviate the suffering of the 
animal. Its fundamental desires remain and it is the frustration of those desires 
that is a great part of its suffering. There are so many examples: the dairy 
cow who is never allowed to raise her young, the battery hen who can never 
walk or stretch her wings, the sow who can never build a nest or root for food in 
the forest litter, etc. Eventually we frustrate the animal's most fundamental 
desire of all - to live." --David Cowles-Hamar.
