Left Wandering

animals innocent, left wandering
aimlessly from street to street.
sick, starved, broken, bleeding,
thirsty, burned with cigarettes,
shot with arrows sticking out
their sides. hit with the very
hands that promised them
safety, love, and food.

yeah I read your blog on this topic also. I tried watching that pet detective show on animal planet once and nearly threw up (I have a dog). I think bad pet owners treat the animal like an accessory. If it breaks it can always be replaced. No big deal right? Ignorance knows no limit. That guy who was jealous of the dog because of his wife....I hope he was arrested.
