An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize. This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves.

Hoppy new year to rabbits and roos
Hippy new year to 'potamus crews
Heppy new year to all the cats
Hemey new year to vampire bats
Hayey new year to horses and mules
Neapy new year to fishes in schools
Harty new year to stags and their does
Scrappy new year to gulls and to crows
Peepy new year to singing canaries
Humpy new year to dromedaries
(and double that to other camels)
Flippy new year to dolphin mammals
Howly new year to wolves and coyotes
Bleaty new year to sheepies and goaties
Whoopy new year to 'dangered cranes
Hopey new year to elephants in chains
Arfy new year to all breeds of dogs
Sloppy new year to piglets and hogs
Flappy new year to geese, swans and ducks
Choppy new year to beavers and 'chucks
Sleepy new year to bears in their dens
Scratchy new year to roosters and hens
Horny new year to rhinoceros herds
Mourny new year for the dodo birds
Hidey new year to the cattle I see
Harpy new year to the angels they'll be
Happy New Year to all - jungle, forest and farm
Crappy new year to those who would do them harm
