End of Year Ponderings

Poem Artwork
-->“We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat animals.
Animals suffer as much as we do.
True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them.
It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it.
Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things,
Humanity will never find peace.”

Albert Schweitzer


It’s been another abysmal year
For the loyal pets of the world
Abandoned, Abused, Over-bred
Animal Cruelty continues to unfurl

Dog Fighting Rings continue to flourish
Horrendous Puppy Mills continue to exist
Pets are still being left behind and dumped
Our animal friends deserve far better than this

People continue to purchase puppies from breeders
While millions of dogs die in our shelters and pounds
So many people refuse to spay and neuter their pets
So in our abandoned houses, pups like these are found

With all of the other atrocities occurring in our world today
None of our so called leaders, even care about animal cruelty
Every year, I hope it will be a better one for our animal friends
And at the end of every year, I see no end to these pet atrocities

Please become an Animal Advocate, and do whatever you can
To help these innocent victims of the cruelty and apathy of man

©End of 2014, Mr. Ed

It is remarkable how removed from reality people are these days. I've been watching on the Weather Channel, Fat Guys in the Woods. These obese city slickers are so afraid of killing a wild animal to eat, while they gladly gobble up animals that are tortured and killed humanely without thought to their deaths in restaurants. These are the same people that buy pets while they are cute little babies, and then abandon them when they grow up.

With more and more people living in cities, far from their sources of food, we have to come up with a way to sensitize youngsters to how animals share this planet with us.

ALAS ... ALACK ... & AMEN ... MY FRIEND ...

ED ... if I had to guess I'd bet that 90% of Humanity in every country & nation does care... but ... the 10% or less that have the Power & Rule do Not !

Even if a good Law is legislated ... it doesnt get Enforced. When it does get enforced often the Punishment is not Severe enough.

PUCK ... "WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE!"

HOPE FOR A BETTER NEW YEAR !!!
