\nThat’s all sorts of colour
\nWhich of course enhances
\nWhat appears much duller
\nThan a can of shit
\non a summers day
\n4000 wretched chemicals
\nSo what I hear you say<\/p>\n

Animals derivatives
\nNow what the Hell is that
\nscraped off the floor of the
\nabattoir
\nHelp! I smell a rat
\nDead cats and dogs
\na few odd frogs
\nGod knows what they use
\nAnd this array
\nof come what may
\nIs likely to abuse<\/p>\n

Our little cat or Dog
\nYea dear friends despite
\nThe price we pay
\nand choosing from the shelves
\nits a way over my
\nhead so let me tell you today
\nBeef,% Rabbit yea and Duck
\nChicken & Lamb its all
\na scam
\nits flavour
\nNow don’t that suck!<\/p>\n

So this is what our darling
\npets are given
\nIt could be any crap
\nmixed up with grain
\nmoldy oats and maize
\nyeasts worthy of praise
\nNo wonder Corporates
\nhave lots to gain<\/p>\n

The Government of course
\nsays absolutely
\nNothing getting 20 odd per cent
\nFor every can or pouch that they are
\nis selling
\nHow can “Tibbles” expect to
\nremain fit?
\nAnd factory farmed the meat
\nthat’s in the better brands
\nSome sell an organic range
\nBut still derive
\nMost of their sales
\nfrom factory standard
\ncrap lines
\nThat is how they grow
\nhow they survive.<\/p>\n

Yarrah
\nArni
\nBenovo
\nOrganic Pets
\nand Wackie Dog
\nare the so called best around
\nToday
\nIAMS, ASDA,TESCO FELIX
\nare the worst
\nthats if you believe
\nwhat some now say
\n(Ethical Consumer)April 2010<\/p>\n

And the corporates most of
\nthem do test on animals
\nIAMS that’s of course from
\nP& G
\nSo IAMS and EUKanuba
\nare not what I would buy
\nToo much of a gamble
\nits seems to me.
