A．They do not care about animals.
B．They hate making animals suffer.
C．They enjoy making animals suffer.
D．They do not realise the consequences.
答案
参考答案：D
解析：[分析] 推断题型。 根据第三段第二句的...the fanatical sponsors of the societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals可知她们是关心动物的，她们在keeping a grey parrot in a relatively small cage or even chained to a perch时认为是对动物的保护，并没有意识到把动物养在笼中的结果——鹦鹉的痛苦，所以，应选D项。
