Animals sadly get a bad deal
Brazil tries to pass
a bill that is real
slaughterhouse companies
can get away with
neglect and cruelty
and abuse, any day
no government inspection
leave the meat trade
to police themselves
How many have weighed
into that argument
And what we see
is some breaking wind
but most just agree
in Brazil the poor animals
don’t have much chance
their only dream
to fly off to France.
