It lacks so much compassion
\nLive exports anywhere
\nShipping living creatures
\nAround causes despair
\nIts cruelty personified
\nIts money all the way
\nRAMSGATE a name from Raven Cliff gap
\nA healthy place some say
\nThat was in the year 1275
\nAnd now what we see<\/p>\n
Is rams and lambs All suffering
\nBeing shipped abroad
\nIts what the meat trade wants
\nAnd what they can afford
\nThe EU wants its halal meat
\nNot stunned, throats slashed away
\nThese are beautiful creatures
\nAnd boy yea won’t they pay<\/p>\n
A miserable price for being
\nBorn in the UK
\nAnd shipped from sunny Ramsgate
\nIn trailers so some say
\nWe have seen exports from Australia
\nAnd we know the carnage there
\nIts obvious to anyone
\nLive exports isnt fair<\/p>\n
They are living breathing
\nThinking caring animals
\nWhose stress levsls rise
\nVery much and so
\nIt becomes so miserable
\nTravelling all together
\nFrightened they really are
\nStrange noises heat and cold and
\nFear
\nThe venality is far
\nMore serious than we imagine
\nOut of sight and out of mind
\nThis is the bloody meat trade
\nWhere people turn a blind<\/p>\n
Eye to all the suffering
\nThey are not paid to be
\nCompassionate to animals
\nThey all die eventually
\nSo who cares what they go through
\nShip them let them go
\nShivering when they reach their destination
\nAnd I know<\/p>\n
Some wont make the abattoir
\nThey will go in the boots of cars
\nOr savagely slaughtered in the street
\nYea they do see stars
\nBut not the stars from picture books
\nStars from hell itself
\nAnd before you can shout out I’m a sheep
\nThey are cut up and on some shelf<\/p>\n
So many foreigners in europe now
\nAnd many want halal
\nSo the export trade is growing
\nAnd I expect it shall
\nContinue and increase now
\nFor the journey from the UK
\nIs shorter than from Bulgaria
\nAnd so it begins to pay<\/p>\n
But improbity must be taken
\nAnd realised that we
\nProvide too many falsehoods
\nThese shipments should not be
\nIts shameful its rascality
\nIts a shabby its a disgrace
\nAnd falls back on the hearts of man
\nYes a proud human race<\/p>\n
Lambs and sheep need better
\nTreatment along the line
\nBeing treated terribly
\nWhere the sun does shine
\nThroats slashed with blunt instruments
\nTorture through and through
\nDismembered by non butchers
\nIts what some places do<\/p>\n
Farmers here should think again
\nMaybe the price feels right
\nBut sleeping on their pillows
\nPresumably at night
\nCant they hear the screaming
\nAre they as daft as that
\nThese are their precious charges
\nAnd this is where they are at<\/p>\n
Murdered after being tortured
\nSwollen up with fear
\nShouted at and crushed on ships
\nIt is very clear
\nTo anyone with eyes to see
\nAnd hearts that beat like mine
\nThat live exports in this day and age
\nAre a bit like frankenstein<\/p>\n
We have created a monster
\nThe profits maybe high
\nBut no where are their prophets
\nAnd the figures do not lie
\nMany are tossed overboard
\nWho were tortured and who died
\nIts a wicked nasty business
\nWitnessing their final ride<\/p>\n
LIVE EXPQRTS AN ANATHEMA that should
\nbe banned<\/p>\n
Vets are saying this a and a whole lot more
\nAre wanting this <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
