An Animal's Heart

There was a boy who liked to abuse dogs.
Bang! goes the gun when the man shot the bear
Animals running, tripping over logs
Those cruel humans who did not even care,
Animals trapped in cages held in labs.
Their cry for help that no one ever hears
Their wounded body all covered in scabs, 
Can we let these animals disappear?
Endangered pandas, tigers, and lions,
Kids will soon look at them like dinosaurs.
They will all soon disappear one by one.
She believes that hunting is not a sport
A sport is when two sides know they’re playing
‘Save the animals’ she whispered, praying
