Animal Testing is an arrogant waste
of created life
moronic technicians ticking
corporate boxes use the knife
on man’s best friend
on Cats and Primates
Rabbits, Rats and Mice
every conceivable animal
it seems they sacrifice
thats to examine in detail
what the food has done
Take Splenda that’s from sucralose
did it grow out in the sun?
don’t believe a word of it
artificial through and through
it, gives Mice Leukemia
so what does it do to you?
the laboratories are not worried
their tests create the plan
if it kills the animals
it just might kill the man
some have shred the paperwork
then put it on sale
tell them it is healthy
and you cannot fail
say its good for dieting
watch them join the queue
all these unnatural sweeteners
are very bad for you
what honestly does grieve me
is the use of animals here
they either stuff, stuff in their bodies
or cut them up, its clear
sacrificial lambs they be
to the corporate way of life
everyone’s expendable
just get out the knife
the scalpel and whatever
cut each soul about
examine every part of it
the spirit it does flout
its evil truly evil
to practice as they do
its not just any particular brand
so much is bad for you
its proven by experimentation
that is what they do
give the impression its a guarantee
when its actually bad for you
and this is what is happening
guinea pigs that’s us
the animal earthlings
the human earthlings
please don’t make a fuss
get behind the next man
standing in the queue
and buy a kilo of whatever it is
because its “good” for you
and when it causes allergies
its going to take years
to prove or disprove anything
yes there will be some tears
and lots of lovely profit
so on balance it is worth
sacrificing everything
even Planet Earth
