Green Hill Montichiari Brescia Italy (A Reminder by Dr Steve Best)

Green Hill
a vile breeding station
where Beagles were put out to be
it was about vivisection
the ultimate sentence
a plea
had gone out to those
companies running the place
but nobody cared
not at all
death the result
that was the contract
that the result
shipments left there
it was such an insult

a facility really where deaths
had been planned
seriously somewhere
I can’t understand
how people can do this
as a business, and try
to negotiate contracts
so live souls will die

its ever so cruel
and such a heartless way
of treating live Beagles
what ever you say

Green Hill was there for the taking
barbed wire all over the place
no natural light cages that’s right
really it was a disgrace
how the local authorities
licence this place
to my mind is beyond the pale
Montichiari my eyes are not starry
for this is a positive tale

1000 souls with hearts
full of fire
walked through the cordons
their spleens sparking ire
they pushed through the fences
and into the grounds
liberating some victims
27, hounds

the Beagles one pregnant
some pups also too
they were so fortunate
to just get through
that was of course their fortune
arrests
and some said they’d been hurt
there were some protests
struggling down in the dirt

But Green hill
was breached
27 dogs freed
carried still
it was a good result
just to succeed
why the authorities
cover this feed
allowed it to go on
when it was clear
against all perceptions
that animals fear

and were bred to be killed
to a preconceived plan
profit made out of their lives
down the pan
are innocent animals
who feel pain too
something must be done
that is my view

to know what is happening
this a sick malaise
humans so arrogant
go through this phase
of sick ill repute
or vileness and woe
Green hill was evil
and now you all know

and torture was planned for
the Beagles now bred there
behind the barbed wire
and despair
that is what happened
that was why they
had to be got out
and not made to pay
