Innocent Animals' Lives are Taken

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.

Innocent Animals' Lives are Taken
By Diana Azevedo

Innocent animals' lives are taken, 
while you devour your pork, ham, and bacon.

How can you justify the torture and the pain? 
a animal's life is taken, for fat your body will gain.

How is it fair? After all, they can feel just like us. 
When you drink that glass of milk are you aware it's really filled with pus?

So go ahead eat up, fill and clog your arteries.

It's not only lives your taking, it's nature's plants and trees 
We're all a part of a circle, equal with one another.

Next time you feel alone think of a calf taken from it's mother.

But ignorance is easier than seeing what is real, 
Just please think of his face when you eat your next "protein" meal.
