Calves are BABIES
that really is all they are
their innocence
clearly to anyone alive
very very far
removed
from unkind humans
each one is an infant
and the dairy industry
is going to do away with them
kidnap them tragically
on their 5th day,slaughter them
that’s to be their lot
forcing them with electric prods
this has to be a blot
the workers
they are awful
expletives loud and clear
even the calves that cannot walk
they are thrown about
the fear
these poor wee souls
now manifest
is far beyond just cruel
torturing little babies
someone must hear their call
someone has to tell the world
these dairies are no good
what they do to the little calves
now, nobody should
in Australia alone 700,000
die
thats 700,000 more than should
and to hear them cry!
why because you, if you drink
cows milk, yes it does apply
to YOU
you, do not need cows milk
which the calf should drink
but because you want to guzzle it
they die, now will you think?
and slam these big rich dairies
stop buying it will you
save so many babies from death
which does accrue
otherwise and many are forced
and made to die
forced to have their throats slashed
forced to bloody cry
and cry they do
they are babies
they want their dear mama
who is the fucking milk machine
and who will be, till you are
made sick from bovine growth hormone
and antibiotics too
and the pus levels now rising
and going into you
when you lost your milk teeth
you should have by that time seen
you had teeth and could chew food
for what is now obscene
happens every which way
cows are made to be
pregnant so that their milk flows
into you and me
well not me because I have never drunk it
but you make up for that I am sure
there are plenty of alternatives if you must have milk
but try to buy them from independents not from the dairies now also cashing in on their sales too
Great poem Rex, so incredibly sad & so wrong what goes on in these dreadful factory farms & slaughter houses, hurts so much to watch them suffer so much xx
it is Yvonne I have written a number after that one and another today following Animals Australia’s request from Oz Gov’t re the sheep that were shipped to
Bahrain refused and then off loaded in Karachi backing her that’s animals australia over your government who seem blase about it all. 21000 sheep were slaughtered
and nobody is paying for it but them, somebody got paid a lot of money for them and should take the blame and the hastle that comes with it
