Yes, I Do
By Starlight
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.

Yes, I Do
By Starlight

Showing compassion
Is what every human being ought to do
And if you don't
You don't deserve to be called a human
No, you don't

Animals suffer
Now more than ever before
And when animal activists destroy labs
You say they are terrorists
No, you are

Animal cruelty
Is the worst form of violence on the Earth right now
And you talk about peace on Earth
Say that those damn animal activists need to be put behind bars
No, you do

The screams
of the slaughterhouse
Don't affect you
And yet you say that animal activists
Should burn in hell
No, you should

Animals finally
have a voice
And believe me
whether you like it or not
the day will come when we win
And I fully support it
Yes, I do
