Corporate Conditioning its all in the training

Pets at home

really have pulled off a coup

they have worked through the

activists

possibly you

may feel that big store

down the street is ok

with its vast stock of pet food

its spruced up the way

you and your pets

can benefit and

its customer friendly

they do understand

clearly the training

and employment of souls

is up there its rocking

and could be  its poles

apart from some corporate

entities who

don’t invest quite as much

in it as they should do

so its a pretty friendly place

and the staff try

they are courteous always

and clearly apply

good customer service

throughout the store

and really in essence

who could ask for more

the rabbits and hamsters

in a cage in their run

its a smack in the face

but what they have done

is thought very carefully

how we’d react

and gone at it truthfully

with some clear tact

its corporate know how

there’s money to spend

and they spent it and wisely

for they are our friend

Pets at Home

took the challenge

the RSPCA and others

have apparently gone out of their way

to forget what they thought about

in the distant past

and cosy up with them

and its all happened fast

pets in the pet shops

the puppy mill thing

a far cry it seems from

what they now bring

to the market place

dressed up as sugar and spice

and puppy dogs tails

and everything nice

its about conditioning

thats what they do

they ramp up the facility

and take the view

for me I don’t like it

its the point of it all

selling live animals

for me isn’t cool

when I go to the Hemel Store

it bothers me

those cute little rabbits

when the children see

there’s pressure to buy

an emotional choice

should we be faced with

did we have a voice

the giant is cracking its knuckles

and we

may see more and more

local zoo’s possibly

where inmates are for sale

the progress is fast

to me its a step too far

and my thoughts of the past

come flooding back

and apparently they

have announced such

an increase

so it is on the way
