ululation and wailing
blubbering and whimpering notes
filthy dirty blood soaked walls
the cries from cull sows throats
killed before their life span
tonged and gassed and slashed
animals and workers their spirits
how they are dashed
a stench to hang there over
a new plant its been said
faeces really everywhere
so many females dead
pigs are friendly creatures
But thousands everyday
come in rather tentatively
and ofcourse they pay
death is literally everywhere
hell is clearly here
in Ballymoney Northern Ireland
unsightliness is clear
ammonia and faeces
blood and guts and snot
such a negative impact
There will be a lot
to take in at the vicinity
a place for the insane
For victims and for workers
Unbelievable strain
my wish is to save female pigs
whatever else we do.
ban the rotten slaughterhouse
thats my sincere view
