WHAT PRICE CRUELTY

I READ A DISTURBING ARTICLE ABOUT SOMEONE BEING CRUEL TO THEIR PET, AND I FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE THIS.

We can bury our heads in the deepest sand
And hide from what we can't ignore
Cause' the cruelty to animals in this modern world
Should be rooted out to its very rotten core

An animal doesn't know right from wrong
Doesn't know why it's being beaten
It will loyaly return to its torturer
Even though they be spawned from Satan

We may never be able to stop it though
Cause' these filth that call themselves men
Are not of a normal decent mind
But vile slime whom we should all condemn

These people need to know what's what
And all decent folk will have to intervene
To show them we mean business here
We must be heard, and we must be seen

I hope they read this and ponder a while
That if they can laugh at an animal's pain
They could also do this to a child
Cause' there's a sickness inside of their brain

We need the law to change, and fast
Make the punishment fit the crime
That instead of a small slap on the wrist
Make these people do some serious time

                         G J TATE

We made a deal with the dogs,
and anyone who breaks it
should be broken.

We made a contract with the cats,
and anyone who breaks it
should be cracked.

We made a bargain with the horses,
and anyone who breaks it
should be whipped.

They agreed to love,
and anyone who breaks it
should be denied.
