They are gentle and lively
\nPassionate souls
\nAerodynamic
\nWith all the controls
\nAthletic and handsome
\nIntelligent too
\nEnslaved to regression
\nThats what humans do<\/p>\n
Money and profit
\nIt’s a lucrative trade
\nRacing these great souls
\nOn our shoulders laid
\nArchaic practices
\nIgnorant ways
\nInsensitive methods
\nWhere cruelty pays<\/p>\n
Self regulation
\nWhere results are the thing
\nDoping and animal cruelty bring
\nClouds to the industry
\nLive baiting too
\nMany said never
\nBut 4 corners do
\nExpose what’s been happening
\nIt is a sin
\nThese are the trainers
\nThat get dogs to win<\/p>\n
It’s blown up in their faces
\nSure they’ve made some dough
\nThey have killed rabbits and pigs
\nPossums low,
\nAnd behold
\nIt is what some do
\nThat’s what owners want
\nWinners that is the view<\/p>\n
Imagine the torture the vile
\nWicked way
\nTo be tied on a hook and be chased
\nWho can say
\nThis is a sport fit for humans
\nTo see
\nAnd for government backing
\nIt just cannot be<\/p>\n
These dogs need respect
\nNot lies from the few
\nClearly there’s money and taxes
\nThat do
\nKeep people sweet on this
\nMoronic sport
\nIt’s vile and it’s cruel
\nAnd it’s all without thought<\/p>\n
If you hear the trainers
\nAll this is denied
\nBut when a few cameras do get inside
\nThat’s when it’s obvious what some
\nNow do
\nAnd engaged in live baiting
\nWell it’s proven too
\nShut down those trainers
\nSeize all those hounds
\nClearly it’s certain
\nThey are doing the rounds
\nMurdering innocent animals they
\nShould be banned for life
\nBe kept away<\/p>\n
They declare if the dogs
\nAre not winners then they
\nEnd up in fact with the RSPCA
\nGood breeding and training
\nThat’s what it’s about
\nIt’s all about money
\nThat’s without a doubt<\/p>\n
We should have moved on by now
\nFrom those who
\nRegress to the abyss
\nFor clearly some do
\nGambling is big business
\nIts a big draw
\nBut it’s exploitation
\nThat’s the big flaw
\nIt’s become parasitic
\nThe noble greyhound
\nIs truthfully one of
\nThe most gentle around
\nIt is athletic
\nIt does love to run
\nBut forcing the issue
\nIs not how it’s done<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
