We are both free. Animals were my first thought but as I thought about it more thats because they take risks with out realizing it.
For instance a lion in africa lives in a game park where it is realatively safe from poachers and other man made dangers. The lion is free to leave the park and will do so.
A human in a similar situation won't leave a safe area. I could go out right now and go to Hunters point, a bad part of the city. I have the freedom to do so but I will not do it. Our consciousness limits our freedoms.
