Torturing animals seemingly causes
Changes in animals reaction towards
Us and our children
They are sentient creatures
They feel and they suffer
This base violation
And May retaliate
From the association
It’s come to our notice
That dogs, man’s best friend
Can sometimes be beaten
Which May abhorrently send
Them into a frenzy
It’s natural to be
Resentful of upset
Behaviourally
That’s when the dog
Gets the blame as we know
It’s vicious it’s violent
It’s when feelings grow
But of course if the owner
Has attacked them, first
Has say cut off their tail
In a violent out burst
It happens some children
Do this kind of thing
It’s all a big joke
That familiar ring
Of stupid adults who
Allow it and so
It can happen again
Circumstances may grow
Children need parenting
Of the right kind
Animals need our respect
In their mind
They don’t want to be tortured
They don’t wish to be hurt
When the animals bites back
Or tries to assert
Some checks and balances
They are seen as the one
It’s then negativity
Is grossly spun
Into a reason for putting and end
Maybe to who was actually
A very good friend.
