IF ANIMALS WERE MEANT TO BE BRED,
IMPRISONED,
TORTURED,
SLAUGHTERED,
THEN WHY WERE THEY CREATED WITH BRAINS SO
THAT THEY
CAN UNDERSTAND THE TORMENT,
THE TORTURE,
THE IMPRISONMENT?
WHY DO THEY HAVE NERVES SO THAT THEY CAN FEEL
THE
PAIN,
FEEL THE SLICE OF THE KNIFE,
THE BULLET IN THE BRAIN?
THE SAW THROUGH THEIR BONES?
WHY WERE THEY GIVEN EYES, SO THAT THEY CAN
SEE THE
KNIFE,
BEFORE IT TAKES THEIR LIFE?
SEE THE TERROR OF THOSE AROUND THEM?
WHY DO THEY HAVE EARS SO THAT THEY MAY HEAR
THE
SCREAMS OF TERROR OF THEIR FELLOWS,
HEAR THE LAUGHTER OF THE SLAUGHTER MEN
THEIR OWN VILE SCREAMS AS THEY CRY OUT WITH
ALL THEIR
MIGHT
“I WANT TO LIVE!”?
EARS SO THEY CAN HEAR THE WORDS OF CRUELTY
AND OF
HORROR?
THE PITEOUS CRIES?
WHY DO THEY POSESS NOSES SO THAT THEY MAY
SMELL THE
FEAR IN THE AIR,
THE SMELL OF THE BLOOD AND GUTS OF THEIR
SISTERS AND
BROTHERS
FATHERS AND MOTHERS?
THE SMELL OF SHIT, THE SMELL OF PAIN?
WHY DO THEY HAVE CAPACITY FOR EMOTION SO THAT
THEY
MAY BELLOW IN UNTOLD EMOTIONAL AGONY AS THEIR
OFFSPRING IS TORN FROM THEM TO BE TAKEN TO A
PLACE OF
TORTURE?
WHY? WHY? WHYYYYYY?!
ANIMALS WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE BRED,
CONTROLLED,
IMPRISONED,
TORTURED,
SLAUGHTERED!
THEY WERE MEANT TO LIVE IN THEIR OWN RIGHT AS
YOU AND I.
THEY WERE MEANT TO FEEL THE SUN ON THEIR
BACKS AND
THEY WERE MEANT TO KNOW THE FREEDOM THAT IS
‘BEING FOR THE SAKE OF BEING.’
