Respecting Animal Species

Using reasoning to understand how we treat other species And what we see means their numbers are rapidly decreasing As humanity with its limited understanding keep feasting On animals farmed for our greedy carnivorous desires But suggest serving their pets up on a platter Wagging tail, big sad eyes does it really matter Is there anymore wrong in eating animals That spend their days lucking their balls like dogs and cats seem to do Mind you we say they are dumb but it's us running around cleaning up their poo Are they really as dumb as we think As they sit watch confused as we choke on their faeces that stinks So what defines our belief that its wrong to eat dogs and cats In the orient it's an actual fact that they see nothing wrong with this Same comparison can be made between fish Like why it's different to consume cod, sprats and anchovies To eating koi carp or goldfish And don't ask if fish careless With a two second memory they were not blessed. Where do I stand, well I think its wrong Eating meat is a swansong or our physical health That eating animals is no different to eating ourselves Cannibalistic and depraved the way we choose to behave Eating other species everyday Like we have the right but we seemed to have lost sight That these like us are all God's creatures And we should use these words to teach us That as omnivores we do not need to eat meat Whether it be dog, cat, cow or sheep We need to learn to respect all other species.
