The most heinous of crimes
anyone could hear
Just happened in China
and its very clear
how terrible the local meat trade
is there
fresh dogs are killed
with the vilest despair
this was a mother
a 3 year old pet
loved by its guardians
seemingly set
for a wonderful life
till some creepy thief
stole the pet animal
which beggars belief
so this golden retriever
this beautiful soul
was sold to a butcher of dog meat
his role
as a restauranteur was
to keep her alive
and then kill her
he had to let her survive
he took a small knife
not sharp at all
and sawed through her back leg
she tried to call
weeping and wailing
such loathsome intent
as he sawed and she screamed
her wretched lament
she was a pet dog
she knew love and care
the warmth and the affability there
but why on earth had she got to this place
to this hole
to this evil dark desolate
place of control
her anguish was everything
purgatory
she tried to get away
but the butcher could see
he tied the rope tighter
and cut off all
her legs
she was still conscious
for the long haul
of agony gripped her
he then hung her high and tore of her skin
and I swear that’s no lie
when approached by a man
who wanted to buy
and put her out of her misery
the butchers reply
my meat in my eating house
is always the best
the freshest around
full of true zest
dog butchers really are
the lowest of low
the gravest of infidels
that you could know
those who eat dog
who support this blood bath
this ignorant hideously
terrible path
to hell via their guts
the karmic refrain
this wicked butcher
he does it again
and again and again
its what his customers say
they want in fresh dog meat
and why they pay
lets try to imagine
how that loyalty
a golden retriever
a mother, how she
had just had her first litter
filled with such joy
and stolen and slaughtered
by some arse of a boy
after a quick buck
and she ended here
in this pit of shit
and died in such fear
the hopelessness high
defeated and left
cursed by the human tribe
clearly bereft
of any humility
hellish and hard
the cruelty exacted
frantically scarred
every last thought
as she perished in pain
as the last throes of energy
and pure disdain
dripped from her body
a heart broken too
at the remorseless nature
of the butcher to do
Anubis awakes
to the spitefulness here
to the vindictive nature
and is very clear
blood for blood
punishment
has to soon be
wreaked out on this butcher
who so wickedly
ended the life of a mother
lets say
who was calm and alone
but the price she did pay
as he snapped off each bone
as he tore off her skin
as she felt her blood pour
with her head in a spin
we are closing for sure
the great god had reached down
and was outside his door
the butcher will feel those slow
cuts on his frame
those so called consumers
they will feel the same
for the maggots of death
will fill up their gut
will wriggle and gorge
till life will just shut
down its a mantra
that nobody needs
for the agony coming
for the worst kind of seeds
will grow in their corpse
and decompose where they lay
and no resurrection
ever
Maomao is sitting now under the bridge
in Summerland down by the buttercup ridge
the sun on her back the cows in the field
remembering the love and how it did yield
such a beautiful time till the darkness fell
and that evil butcher showed Mao mao true hell

my heart is broken for sweet Maomao.. no relief, no mercy was shown to her.. the darkest vilest creature for he cannot be called a man … broke her beautiful body piece by piece.. thank you for writing the poem of Maomao…I like the last verse the best…but, also I pray each night that the butcher will die.. God help me, that is what I pray for now that I saw Maomao under the knife, and may no one show the butcher mercy in his darkest hour, and may he die horribly and slowly that is my prayer. Thank for the the poem. it helps to know someone else is haunted by this horrendous act of the deranged insane butcher. Maomao the innocent. I cry for her.
Dear Lynn thanks so much for sharing my blog and the innocent and kindly Mao Mao. As a pet animal lost in the evil world
Of man unkind her death was terribly I shall never forget nor not imagine the grief and agony she experienced at the hands of this butcher
This evil nasty piece of work that needs to be written out of humanity and fast.thankyou for sharing the grief with me and I am sure thousands of others
We must write and think ponder and care for all earthlings x
This poem is a beautiful tribute to Maomao who we will always hold dearly in our hearts. Betraying a dog and killing it in such an imaginable way without any remorse really tells me these people may look human but inside they are filled with the devil’s soul.
Rest in peace sweet Maomao and we will fight on to end this trade from hell for you and many thousands every year that was taken away sadistically away from mother nature’s world.
Thanks Mark for your comments it’s lovely to hear and share the overwhelming sadness of this poor dogs demise and it is humbling to read your fine words
Rex, thankyou for your beautiful tribute to this beautiful, innocent girl Maomao who as you said, only knew love, not sure if anyone has noticed but in the first photo, from the pavement, it appears this is where she is just about to endure her agony, she appears to be holding her paw out to shake this mans hand, having no idea of what she is about to endure. These photo’s have brought the plight of thousands of these animals to peoples attention, I find it hard to understand how anyone can film this without intervening, but at least people are aware and very, very angry. Hopefully Maomao’s death may not be in vain. Rest in peace sweet one and know that the tears we cry for you will fill your heart, may the karmic effect help to stop this sadistic cruel trade.
Dear Pauline thank you so much for thinking of this sweet soul and writing to me I am just about to write another story of Layla found in South Los Angeles
Another heart breaking story there are so many but by writing about them we as you say bring energy to them to th their plight and it can only do good.
Thanks so much for finding the poem
