Their Pain, Our Nation's Shame

“He must have been in so much pain;

His eyes were hanging out of his head;

He's been so horribly abused and neglected.”

 

His Foster Caretaker

 

Music: Agony

 

Our nation’s enormous animal abuse keeps growing

And it fills an American citizen like me, with shame

It is horrendous enough, that we now abandon them

But that’s not enough; today, we inflict horrendous pain

 

The innocent pup in the picture above has been named Andre

He was found tied up in a plastic bag, in a dumpster in Phoenix

Before he was thrown in the trash, he was used for target practice

Blinded, his eyes shot out with a BB gun, emaciated, and so very sick

 

He was rushed to an animal hospital, where he was given a blood transfusion

His medical bills are enormous, and some are trying to raise funds for his care

I wish I didn’t have to read such horror stories, occurring in my own country

But as one who tries to help these innocents, I know there are many out there

 

If you would like to help this innocent victim of our nation’s immense cruelty

You can click on the link below, and make a donation, for little Andre’s care

Or perhaps, you’d like to help another tortured pet victim, in your own town

As an animal rescuer, I sadly know these innocent victims, are now everywhere

The more we expose these abuses, the better off we'll be, because someone knows of the abuse and can report it. Your poem makes me want to inflict an eye for an eye. The heartless among us must be singled out for ridicule for the creatures that they are.

Continue the good work. Someday, animal cruelty will not go unpunished.

Oh poor baby, I just don't understand the reasoning for such violence towards animals...if only the dog could fight back, then these "humans," and I use that term loosely, would get their just payback...e
