A philosopher who took it upon himself
As many do
To think about the rights that animals
Have and it was his view
As a professor he had found
It was the path to be
on For him the very ground
Compassion and similarity
His empAthy with life
Animals were his mainstay
Their inherent value
Minus strife
That was his way
TOm Reagan was an animals man
Moral rights for all
Respect for every living soul
And he made that his rule
RIP Dear Sir your love and kindness
Will be sorely missed in this world
Where respect is not always given to our animal
