It's 'Be Kind To Animals Week'

by Mr. Ed — Read all 1,530 poems by Mr. Ed

But We Have Very Little To Celebrate

Monday, May 2, 2016


Poem Artwork
-->This Week is ‘Be Kind To Animals Week’
But We Have So Very Little To Celebrate
It Was Established Over 100 Years Ago Now
But For Our Kindness, The Animals Still Wait

Animal Cruelty Is Still On The Rise, Worldwide
We Should Truly Be Ashamed Of Our Human Race
Here Are Just A Few Recent Animal Cruelty Stories
These Horrors Today, Are What So Many Animals Face

‘Two Brothers In England Film Their Own Vicious Attack On Their Own Dog – Tossing Him Down The Stairs, Then Kicking Him Repeatedly In The Head and Back. Dog Now Paralyzed and Has To Be Put Down.’

‘Three Tiny Dogs Left Behind In Chicago Apartment, When Grown Children Take Elderly Mother To Nursing Home. Building Manager Finds These Three Starving Abandoned Dogs There Weeks Later.’

‘Three Teenagers Douse Cat With Lighter Fluid and Set Cat On Fire; They Say They Were Bored.’

‘Man In New Jersey Beats 6-Month Old Puppy To Death With A Chair.’

‘Unwanted Dog Cruelly Tossed Out of Car Window On Busy California Highway By His Own Uncaring ‘Family.’

‘Newborn Kittens Painted Different Colors, So They Could Be Tossed Into Dog Fighting Pit, and Wagers Could Then Be Made On Which Color Kitten Would Survive The Longest.’

‘Nearly 300 Dogs Found In Horrendous Condition In Yet Another Abysmal Puppy Mill In Arkansas.’

‘A Dog Found Hanging From A Bridge in Illinois Had Also Been Shot, and His Mouth Duct Taped Shut.’

And These Truly Atrocious Animal Cruelty Stories Today Just Go On, and On, and On…

If You Care About Animal Welfare, Take ‘The 100 Pledge’ Linked Here
Over One Hundred Years, and So Many Of Us Still Don’t Seem To Care
And Our So Called ‘Leaders’ Today Certainly Don’t Care Very Much At All
Today’s Animal Cruelty Laws Are Pathetic, So There Is Cruelty Everywhere

The Animal Abusers In These Recent Animal Cruelty Stories Received Very Little, If Any, Punishment For Their Crimes.

To My Old Pal Ed Matlack:

How can we ever hope to right the many wrongs in the world (including animal cruelty) if we all continue to bury our heads in the sand and we pretend that everything is fine? This very sadly applies to so many aspects of life today, not only animal issues.

I know it is the reality of life with our animals, but to be honest Ed, I don't read this bad side that you so much write...So, I was here and I acknowledge this...-e-

We truly have, "… Dominion over all the creatures of the land, sky and sea." But we are doing a very bad job of it.
