Jennifer Kate
an Australian designer
stipulates Rabbits
on her clothes, and she
fails to remember
the cruelty angle
where are the rabbits
and where can they be
I can’t see their eyes
nor their legs
nor their big tails
only the fur
which Ms Kate
shows off here
she seems to be
happy with using these rabbits
as long as their screams
she cannot hear
as they are relieved
of their soft woolly jackets
they cry just like babies
the pains so intense
but Jennifer Kate
she doesn’t seem bothered
she’s apparently
unaware
where is her sense
all she is thinking
about are her sales
her products
the quality
as for their pain
does she look worried
her smile fills an ocean
her shipments are coming
again and again
I hope that Miss Kate
will see this poem
and think a bit
on what pain does ensure
when you hang up a Rabbit
and starts at its head
and pull off its skin
as they do
tearing the flesh
they bleed from their noses
from their mouths
as the pain they endure
its done with such savagery
then they just bleed out
thrown to the floor
in heap
still so pure
all of you designers
out there can I suggest
you give up the fur and the hair
I know best
animals like to wear their skin
like you
and hate really now
what the cruel Chinese do
