Those of us who spend our time
researching Animal Rights
right across the spectrum
the cruelty insights
that happen from the industry
for farming through to slaughter
from dairy through to the meat trade
such cruelty we know
profit, margins, religious traits
husbandry violation
farms all over are hiding in the darkness
the creation
of working with bovine mothers
with pregnancy and calves
with dairy and with wagou Beef
nothings done in halves
the mothers how they are tortured
unkindly treated they
suffer kidnap every birth
when the calves are taken away
a mother suffer
s terribly
she gives out a haunting cry
she truthfully is suffering
and now you all know why
so you can drink your single cream
your chocolate and your butter
enjoy your cheese with a glass of port
what’s this you hear me mutter
cruelty to mothers to babies every day
manhandling to the point of death
which just is not the way.
