“Until we stop harming other creatures,
We are all savages.”
Thomas Jefferson
My heart breaks these days
From all the savagery I see
Jefferson’s words ring so true
I am ashamed of my humanity
35 Below Zero in British Columbia
This bitterly cold and savage night
A muffled cry from a cardboard box
A dying creature consumed by fright
One compassionate woman opens it up
To find a tiny, terrified, Yorkie pup inside
The dog’s mouth has been ‘rubber banded’
The horror she sees, makes the woman cry
The smell of rotting flesh, is so horrendous
She doesn’t believe this puppy will survive
But she calls a pet rescue group in Canada
And today, tiny little ‘Star’ is miraculously alive
After a lot of medical care and needed surgery
Rescued Star has been adopted by this woman
Today, this tortured, tossed out in the cold, canine
Is now finally loved, her abysmal misery, is at an end
Please support the pet rescue groups, in your own area
Please consider adopting one of the creatures we abuse
Please help us, to save yet one more innocent life, today
With every one saved, a bit more of our savagery, we lose
