Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Animal Cruelty

animal 
     cruelty makes
          me sick...

to my stomach!
      quite abhorrent and
          upsetting...

to see 
     such a poor, 
          helpless... 

animal 
     in distress 
          and being mistreated...

by uncaring owners.
     what...
          a total outrage!

Lindsay Laurie July 7, 2021 at 9:38 PM Hello Edward … it is very sickening to see any animal suffer and the full force of the law should be applied. I think that you are on a winner here also Edward - Lindsay Edward Ibeh July 8, 2021 at 7:00 AM I couldn't agree more with you, Lindsay! Thanks for the visit...

L Milton Hankins July 7, 2021 at 6:27 PM Absolutely agree, Edward. Laws should require strict punishments for those people who abuse animals. Edward Ibeh July 7, 2021 at 6:31 PM And it's sad and shocking how many people get away with it, Milt:-(
