Janice Herzog Poet ABC

Kittens In Cages

Many kittens are brought here,
Each month, and all through the year
Living in small, cramped cages,
Some are too small for their ages
Their owners should feel really bad,
Because their pets are way too sad

They're so cute, and full of love,
And have nothing to be ashamed of
If they only knew their fate,
Would they choose instead to hate?
Lots of them will be put to sleep,
While their owners will never weep

You hear their tiny voices meow,
Pleading, please help me, somehow
They never even asked to be born,
But they must feel very forlorn
How could a pet owner be so uncaring,
To subject their animal to such a living?

Sharon Winter April 7, 2009 at 4:31 PM Oh Janice, this is so sad. Reminds me of a terrible report I heard on the news where some people are bringing their pets to shelters because they can't afford to even feed them anymore. Heartbreaking. Love, Shar

Carolyn Devonshire April 7, 2009 at 2:47 PM Our local chapter of the Humane Society has been encouraging neutering of pets to prevent overpopulation. It costs money get a pet neutered, but it saves lives, too. I hear what you're saying and applaud the way you present the case. People need to read this; perhaps it will help them understand. Love, Carolyn
