The Fence
I’m on this side of the fence
And the animal on the other, whence
I perceive its cunning is intense
And appetite aroused by my presence.
Its docile, immobile stature
Dominated by an icy stare
Alerts me to the carnivore’s nature
If this separation weren’t here.
Eye to eye, our curiosities meet
As time hovers between the variances.
I contemplate wanton cruelty,
Whereas the predator desires freedom.
My resolve is disillusioned
When the big cat swipes and growls,
Which pricks my spine hair to stand on end;
I am afraid, whereas the lion is not.
Intelligent
are elephants,
not negligent.
African herds
are killed for tusks -
cruelty loud heard.
Asian giants
lost habitat
to growth tyrants.
Family styled,
elephant hearts
are love compiled.
Despite great strength
they gently love
their long-life length.
Stop evil shoots,
grant living space,
and pray peace roots.
Sitting in the shade of a willow tree
Reading, relaxing, enjoying the day
When, in the corner of my eye, I see
Soft shadows shifting and watch a stoat sway
Not moving a muscle, nerves all on edge
My eyes went searching, covering the ground
And there, in full view, beneath a brown hedge
A lone furry rabbit, helpless to bound
His stance was stock still, as if hypnotised
Standing seduced by the predator’s dance
His life, in an instant, was sacrificed
The rabbit, poor thing, had never a chance
Here in this valley beside a still brook
I read a sad page from natures own book.
Police and an Amazing Pet Rescue
Indiana Police received an Emergency Call,
Of animal abandondonment in a terribly hot car.
This is a great reminder for caring, pet owners all!
To not leave pets inside cars, that are hot as bubbling-tar.
Inside, the keys, still were in the red,hot ignition.
Found inside~ a deceased pet bull, found dead!
And a fluffy cat, near death in very critical condition
So pet owners, in summer, please you your head!
There was also a German Shepherd in that ‘car- toaster.’
He survived best, not wanting to die, to be flat as a coaster!

Indigo moods within my chest
Not choosing foods like chicken breast
I’m gently beginning vegetarians quest
And I’m pretty hungry I must confess
I still eat butter I still eat cheese
So I’m not exactly following lead
Of strict vegans who’d turn up nose
Because I haven’t let dairy go
Now I do enjoy almond milk
The taste of cows milk makes me ill
Maybe it’s ok in bread or cake
But for cereal almond milk is the way
When I think of my daily meal
I avoid how slaughtered animals feel
Chalk it up to nature and green needs
Ignoring the facts of animal cruelty
My monk friend is a vegetarian who
Even prays for people and animals too
I don’t think I’m as strong as she
But bit by bit I’m changing how I eat
Far from what I want to think about, but reality.
We still have places called zoos, just for amazing people to watch. Just for humans to have fun.
I can't believe my eyes, that mowadays still people can visit those dark prisons for the ones that amuse visitors.
Joy for many and slavery for others.
Living in a developed world,
as soon as retrograd, where zoos are taught and shown to children, as places where animals are grown happy in their "environment".
Annoyed I am, disturbed about reality, about the cruelty of the human being.
Someone up there, above us with more power, must be thinking how stupid we are mistreating such beautiful beloved beings, when we are, as human beings, the real zoo to be amazed.
What do you call four tigers lounging together?
A bevy, a flock, a herd, or a pride? —beats me,
Beauty in the tall grass, they’ve devoured a goat
Now resting together under a lone savannah tree.
Exquisite cats free in the wild and yawning wide
In mid-afternoon, the sun is summer tropical hot,
Soft purr of a safari trekker nears with a guide
When quiet is shattered by a thundering shot.
The remaining three lunge headlong into the bush
Unharmed, unaware of the cruelty of humans,
Or the whereabouts of their own in the rush.
Unsafe in their habitat from becoming tokens,
Testimony to the frivolity of uncaring fools,
Whose bravery exists only behind powerful weapons.

Cruelty to animals is ignorance personified
A clear path can be drawn from here to cruelty to people
There is something broken about these people
Their lack of empathy and compassion is insanity at its worst.
We need to put them together in one cell
And let them act out their cruelty on each other.
Would this help them figure out empathy?
Doubtful. But it might spare others.
Both two leggeds and four-leggeds from these monsters.
animal
cruelty makes
me sick...
to my stomach!
quite abhorrent and
upsetting...
to see
such a poor,
helpless...
animal
in distress
and being mistreated...
by uncaring owners.
what...
a total outrage!

"Don't you cuss at your ol' gramma! C'mere!
I'm gonna wash your mouth out with catsh*t!"
An animal deserves to be treated right
Whether it be wild or has taken fright
It shouldn't be harmed or left alone
If it's a domestic it needs a home
It needs love and people who care
Not to be beaten or thrown down the stairs
Abandoned and left to fend for themselves
How wrong it is to be left on the shelves
Tied up in bags and dumped on the ground
Left there to die and not make a sound
They've done nothing wrong just misunderstood
Help them live and remove that hood
Show them love and a smiling face
We are not evil we're a human race
Animals deserve life after all
So save that dog and throw them a ball
It's not a big ask to show support
For animal cruelty is not a sport
