Animal Cruelty


Animal Cruelty It’s a subject that angers me They’re beings with feelings Where’s the humanity? “A dog is a man’s best friend,” they say Yet they continue to be abused every single day Horses, cats, birds, you name it Abused everyday and the reasons are illegitimate They did nothing wrong, they don’t deserve this They’re beings that deserve to be loved and kissed 47 states have made felony provisions Yet animals are still stuck in these terrible conditions Abusers, I ask you, ”What is your logic?” You have no excuse, it’s simply pathetic Kicked and hit, killed and malnourished, it makes me sick Humans are the supreme beings, why do we act so barbaric? The signs of abuse are endless, you see Malnutrition, hair loss, hoarding, and unexplained injuries Animals are nothing but loyal and loving But so many are treated with anger, it’s disgusting They trust us and love us and they continue to be betrayed So many live in fear, so many are afraid They truly love you more than they love themselves They need a savior, they need our help Please listen to my plea We must stop this absurdity They’re beings with feelings Have some humanity
