Peta Condemns the Pied Piper

PETA Condemns the Pied Piper

By Elton Camp

PETA thought the piper shouldn’t treat rats that way
So due to his villainy, they had the following to say:
Rats are sentient beings with rights equal to a human
So because of what the Pied Piper did, we are fumin'

The rats had the right to live in Hamelin there’s no doubt
And what he should have done is to drive the people out
Not to lead the rats off and make them drown in the river
To hear of such dire cruelty just makes good PETA quiver
