Despicable Crimes

Animals domesticated for the good of man
A civil society can understand
Despicable crimes not exaggerated
The mistreatment of animals that is tolerated
Animal horters, puppy mills cruelty so very real
How can man not understand
The plight these animals suffer should be band
Animals are found in despicable condition
Which demand man’s full recognition 
Some live in such a deplorable state
Their last days in fear and wait
The crimes committed against the innocent
Faultless and guiltless they wait for deliverance 
Demanding laws harsher, must be made 
For animals who have persistently paid

YES!!! Elephants murdered for their tusks, dog breeds created that can't even sneeze properly, on and on the monstrosities go as laid out in your poem. Makes me sad that such people share this planet. No one can argue with your logic in this, or your emotion, no, they can't. Another animal issue is that despite all the media asking us all to adopt, vet costs exceed the average wallet. Makes me mad. All the best ... CayCay
