\/>\nIs with numbers<br \/>\nHuge great sheds of animals<br \/>\nSavings all the while<br \/>\nTime is of the essence<br \/>\nAnd nothings done in style<\/p>\n<p>Life is not a commodity<br \/>\nAlthough its treated so<br \/>\nPack the bodies tightly<br \/>\nYea row after row<br \/>\nCaged and crated<br \/>\nReducing space<br \/>\nProfit is the thing<br \/>\nBordering on true cruelty<br \/>\nAnd what this  does bring<\/p>\n<p>Its about intensive rearing<br \/>\nIt creates a lot of stress<br \/>\nIts like a concentration camp<br \/>\nIts cumulativeness<br \/>\nOver crowding everywhere<br \/>\nUncomfortable  and wrong<br \/>\nGreat gatherings of animals<br \/>\nThat really do belong<\/p>\n<p>In brighter larger spaces<br \/>\nBut all crammed in the dark<br \/>\nTheir  habitation alien<br \/>\nAnd really very stark<br \/>\nCausing abberant behaviour<br \/>\nAnd aggression tragically<br \/>\nDepriving them of movement<br \/>\nRestraining them as well<br \/>\nMany become disabled<br \/>\nLiving with this hell<\/p>\n<p>So much vulnerability<br \/>\nWeakened by it all<br \/>\nShackled trammelled<br \/>\nTethered imprisoned as a rule<br \/>\nRestricted cramped and

nightmare<br \/>\nThats hard to reconcile<br \/>\nSo much mental torment<br \/>\nA life of purgatory<br \/>\nProstration and hopelessness<br \/>\nAs far as the eye can see<\/p>\n<p>Anguished and angst-ridden<br \/>\nThoroughly victimized<br \/>\nHarassment and harshness<br \/>\nIt must be realized<br \/>\nHow animals do suffer<br \/>\nThe vagaries of man<br \/>\nProduction costs<br \/>\nAnd overheads<br \/>\nAs their life goes down<br \/>\nThe pan<\/p>\n<p>Tail docking<br \/>\nFeather picking<br \/>\nCannibalisation rules<br \/>\nCastration with out painkillers<br \/>\nTeeth clipping using tools<br \/>\nRusty pliars no veterinary<br \/>\nJust labourers around<br \/>\nQuickening up the line speeds<br \/>\nAll Totally unsound<\/p>\n<p>Weeping wailing blubbering<br \/>\nProsaic and banal<br \/>\nVapid and insipid<br \/>\nThats their rationale<br \/>\nSqualid and repulsive<br \/>\nOdious and wrong<br \/>\nReally its  beyond the pale<br \/>\nAnd no one does belong<\/p>\n<p>In this fearful environment<br \/>\nWhere trepidation rules<br \/>\nSo many bloody hang ups<br \/>\nLost inside the walls<br \/>\nSo much intimidation<br \/>\nScared out of their minds<br \/>\nGrisly and ghastly<br \/>\nThere are all the signs<\/p>\n<p>Of cowering of being tortured<br \/>\nBeaten bruised and kicked<br \/>\nUnconcerned a needlessness<br \/>\nEverywhere so strict<br \/>\nYou have to swallow insults<br \/>\nAnd suffer time and again<br \/>\nHostility and antipathy<br \/>\nAnd general disdain<\/p>\n<p>To be one of these creatures<br \/>\nSubjected as we are<br \/>\nTo a life time of resentment<br \/>\nWhere the yob culture does star<br \/>\nUnlovable and loathsome<br \/>\nNauseous each day<br \/>\nNobody can stomach that<br \/>\nReally theres no way<\/p>\n<p>Any soul should have to<br \/>\nPut up with this its wrong<br \/>\nThe smouldering resentment<br \/>\nAnd this is all along<br \/>\nEvery hour of every day<br \/>\nBitchiness all through<br \/>\nThe evil eye upon you<br \/>\nAnd there is nothing you can do<\/p>\n<p>Live exports 18 hours or more<br \/>\nAnd Transporting in great trucks<br \/>\nNo food no water no caring<br \/>\nOnly human fucks<br \/>\nAround to give you hassle<br \/>\nSwear at you and try<br \/>\nTo kick you and to torture you<br \/>\nAs they do walk by<\/p>\n<p>All of them are ruffians<br \/>\nNo charity today<br \/>\nNo one knows compassion<br \/>\nThey are heartless in their way<br \/>\nCallous its relentless<br \/>\nThe unfeeling everywhere<br \/>\nThe slaughterhouses also<br \/>\nAre just great depths of despair<\/p>\n<p>To be a farmed animal<br \/>\nIts sadism all the way<br \/>\nYou are seen as money<br \/>\nAnd you are made to pay<br \/>\nThey are spiteful they are veangeful<br \/>\nCovetous and wrong<br \/>\nThis isn&#8217;t life creation gave<br \/>\nUs no one should belong<\/p>\n<p>In such a fearful journey<br \/>\nOf dishonesty and hate<br \/>\nDisloyalty and duplicity<br \/>\nHaving so to wait<br \/>\nFor the next kick and the next bash<br \/>\nAnd the iniquitous desire<br \/>\nOf slaughterman and the labourers<br \/>\nWho make our sad lives dire<\/p>\n<p>Rules and regulations<br \/>\nInspections few around<br \/>\nWe suffer life is tougher<br \/>\nWith each passing hour<br \/>\nThe ground<br \/>\nBeneath our feet is filthier<br \/>\nIs bloodier is bad<br \/>\nWhilst our jailers dark degeneracy<br \/>\nAre becoming mad<\/p>\n<p>So many of us suffering<br \/>\nCastration and the rest<br \/>\nThis is terrible torture<br \/>\nMalpractice it does test<br \/>\nThe legality of being<br \/>\nCondemned for evermore<br \/>\nCursed with life long punishment<br \/>\nAnd not knowing what for<\/p>\n<p>Other than death on a rusty chain<br \/>\nAnd our skin wrenched so<br \/>\nOur legs sawn off<br \/>\nOur blood Does gush<br \/>\nWhich flesh eaters do know?<br \/>\nThe extent of this vile journey<br \/>\nOur agony is so<br \/>\nTerrible can you hear the screams<br \/>\nComing from below<\/p>\n<p>As you chew upon our dead flesh<br \/>\nAs you breathe our wretched smell<br \/>\nCooked up in your ovens<br \/>\nThe burning fires of hell<br \/>\nAre entering your bodies<br \/>\nCurdling your brains<br \/>\nNow All our pain and agony<br \/>\nPulsating through your veins<\/p>\n<p>All our tears and misery<br \/>\nThe short lives we have had<br \/>\nThe agony inflicted<br \/>\nIt was just so bad<br \/>\nKidnapped raped and murdered<br \/>\nTortured too alas<br \/>\nAnd cooked up in your salty pans<br \/>\nIn what is a dark morass<\/p>\n<p>Of evil and of cancer<br \/>\nOf resentment through and through<br \/>\nYou will get your  comeuppence<br \/>\nAnd will suffer too<br \/>\nIf only you had been vegan<br \/>\nLess of us would be<br \/>\nSuffering the awful pain<br \/>\nAnd abject
