Caren Krutsinger Poet Narrative

Do Bears Torture Other Animals

Do bears torture animals? No.
Do wolves tear you apart before they kill you? No.
It is man who tears the wings off butterflies.
It is child who shoots cats with a Beretta? 

Do alligators eat you alive? Maybe.
But do they torment you first and let you see
The other body parts they keep in their refrigerator first?
Do pumas eat your arms first? 
No. They eat your head; putting you out of your misery fast.

Do elephants, rhinos, zebras, lions or tigers use an Uzi?
Do stingray, crocodiles, cobras or wolves use AK-47’s?
Do any of these dangerous animals mow down children in grade schools?
Do any of these dangerous animals ruin the Ozone layer so everyone will die faster?

Who is the dangerous animal?
Who is the cruelest?
It is a quandary is it not?

Michelle Faulkner October 5, 2019 at 4:48 PM Yes, man is the only one who kills or maims just for the pleasure of it - and I have noticed, males do not mate unless the females allow it - sad to think of it. Caren Krutsinger October 6, 2019 at 3:53 AM It is so sad but true. So terribly terribly terribly sad.
