It is difficult not to connect this with the poem
Tá sé deacair gan seo a nasctha leis an dán
It is not right to take animals from their native land
Níl sé ceart ainmhithe a thógáil óna n-áit dhúchais
It might be that the animal is a metaphor for an unhealthy person
B’fhéidir gur meafar é an t-ainmhí do dhrochshláinte duine

Ag búiríl
She fought for
Throid sí ar son
She uses a couple of very powerful images to communicate her message about freedom to us
Úsáideann sí cúpla íomhá an-chumhachtach chun a teachtaireacht faoi saoirse a chur in iúl dúinn

The damage a lack of freedom does to the spirit of the animal

An dán
The poet gives an insight to us
Tugann an file léargas dúinn
The poet gives us an insight into the life of the animal that is in captivity in the zoo
Tugann an file léargas dúinn ar shaol an ainmhí atá i ngéibheann sa zú
The pride is replaced with self pity
Tá an bród athchurtha le féin trua

At the end of the poem
Ag deireadh an dáin
The animal implores us to give his freedom back to him
Impíonn an t-ainmhí orainn a shaoirse a thabhairt ar ais dó
We are the people who go to the zoo
Is sinne na daoine a théann chuig an zú
