muck<br \/>\nWhich does include<br \/>\nChocolate  so toxic<br \/>\nThe buck<br \/>\nIs theres its the hunters<br \/>\nSuch toxicity<br \/>\nto canids<br \/>\nTheir ignorance<br \/>\nHow  can they be<\/p>\n<p>Out in  the wilds<br \/>\nAll that foul smelling<br \/>\nWaste<br \/>\nDraws hungry bears<br \/>\nAs we know YES<br \/>\nPost haste<\/p>\n<p>And waiting<br \/>\nTo ambush the hungry<br

young child<br \/>\nTen years old<br \/>\nJust Waiting there<br \/>\nRifle cocked<br \/>\nShe is sold<br \/>\nAre you shocked<br \/>\nWith her grand father<br \/>\nSat there in tow<br \/>\nBang he\u2019s dead<br \/>\nWell Bang only wounded<br \/>\nWe know<br \/>\nBang   still not dead<br \/>\nOff runs the wild one<br \/>\nMortally hurt<br \/>\nInflicted with spite<br \/>\nAnd with two lumps of lead<\/p>\n<p>Baiting  wild souls<br \/>\nTempting them to<br \/>\nCome to a spot<br \/>\nTo  be shot<br \/>\nIt is true<br \/>\nIt is iniquitous<br \/>\nThat is  for sure<br \/>\nUngodly behaviour<br \/>\nImmoral and more<\/p>\n<p>A ten year old child<br \/>\nSuch, dishonesty<br \/>\nFrom the grandfather<br \/>\nWith her<br \/>\nAnd That bear painfully<br \/>\nShocked out of existence<br \/>\nWoefully so<br \/>\nRuns off in a panic<br \/>\nAn infernal blow<\/p>\n<p>Hunters with hounds<br \/>\nOften drawn to the bait<br \/>\nAre attacked by the wolves<br \/>\nIts an unbalanced state<br \/>\nIts crude and its wicked<br \/>\nSo wrong that it should<br \/>\nBe policed out<br \/>\nBut sadly those groups<br \/>\nAre no good<\/p>\n<p>They favour the hunters<br \/>\nThere should be a ban<br \/>\nOn baiting wild souls<br \/>\nWhich they do because they can<br \/>\nIts criminality<br \/>\nAnd all the blame<br \/>\nIs laid at their door<br \/>\nAgain and again<\/p>\n<p>Their lack of contrition<br \/>\nAnd obduracy<br \/>\nAnd with this tale<br \/>\nA child<br \/>\nTragically<br \/>\nAnd what have we witnessed<br \/>\nA wild soul who felt<br \/>\nBeing shot twice<br \/>\nOf The cards he was dealt<\/p>\n<p>Being awful beyond words<br \/>\nBut dragged himself  away<br \/>\nThe child and her grandfather<br \/>\nThey didnt stay<br \/>\nThey could come back<br \/>\nThe next day<br \/>\nAnd see if they could find<br \/>\nThey just went home<br \/>\nIt was out of their mind<\/p>\n<p>They came back  the next day<br \/>\nHoping to be<br \/>\nAble to find the great conquest<br \/>\nAnd see<br \/>\nIf they Could high five and<br \/>\nFind their display<br \/>\nAnd sure enough<br \/>\nDid<br \/>\nAnd despatched him they say<\/p>\n<p>After all of those hours<br \/>\nThey found the poor soul<br \/>\nHis ebbing powers<br \/>\nHis loss of control<br \/>\nTheir heartlessness<br \/>\nHis groaning his weeping<br \/>\nHis wailing distress<\/p>\n<p>Blubbering whimpering<br \/>\nHopeful that he<br \/>\nCould just crawl away<br \/>\nBut it  wasn\u2019t to be<br \/>\nA third bullet fired<br \/>\nHis misery left<br \/>\nThe torture was over<br \/>\nWe all are bereft<\/p>\n<p>Such unfathomable cruelty<br \/>\nAnd disrespect<br \/>\nA child in the wild<br \/>\nWas defiled I detect<br \/>\nThat she was rewarded<br \/>\nBy slaps on the back<br \/>\nHer first kill<br \/>\nThe hideousness and a<br \/>\nA stack<br \/>\nof expletives<br \/>\nNow Come to mind<br \/>\nOf this most graceless tale<br \/>\nHer first bloody kill<br \/>\nWas an obvious FAIL.<\/p>\n<p>Well Mr Bob Bell<br \/>\nYou created a HELL<br \/>\non earth<br \/>\nBringing back to<br \/>\nOur minds long ago<br \/>\nAt Blood River Falls<br \/>\nWhere the forbidding calls<br \/>\nWhere the gargoyles and harridans<br \/>\nWandered around<br \/>\nWhere the butt ugly hideous<br \/>\nUnseemly odious<br \/>\nMurder and mayhem<br \/>\nDid once abound<\/p>\n<p>Back in 1800 some 100 years<br \/>\nSaw murder and madness<br \/>\nAnd So many tears<br \/>\nBrent Swancer wrote of them<br \/>\nThe demons the ghosts<br \/>\nThe evil the obscene<br \/>\nMany were hosts<br \/>\nTo the most impure ugliness<br \/>\nEver imagined<br \/>\nAnd now bears are butchered<br \/>\nAnd tortured we see<br \/>\nRecreating the  horror<br \/>\nYES transgressing we be<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the pain<br \/>\nThe hope and how wrought<br \/>\nThe monotonous hours<br \/>\nA healing he sought<br \/>\nAll his emotion and thoughts<br \/>\nNow he bares<br \/>\nAnd it all becomes ugly<br \/>\nDespite his prayers<\/p>\n<p>To work out his weight<br \/>\nYou remove his entrails<br \/>\nAdd12.5 per cent<br \/>\nReally this pales<br \/>\nIn  the contempt<br \/>\nBut its how  you can work out<br \/>\nThe weight<br \/>\nAnd whether its a record<br \/>\nNow isn\u2019t that great.<\/p>\n<p>For me its the worst kind of taste<br \/>\nIts barbarism<br \/>\nUgly and debased<br \/>\nFor a ten year old  child<br \/>\nTo experience this<br \/>\nAnd imagine such evil<br \/>\nEquates as bliss<\/p>\n<p>The aura the blood loss<br \/>\nThe scent of the kill<br \/>\nThe arrogance and ignorance<br \/>\nHis family still<br \/>\nMourns his sad passing<br \/>\nHis cubs and his mate<br \/>\nTerribly sad<br \/>\nFor their great fathers fate<\/p>\n<p>Hunters are craven<br \/>\nMummy\u2019s boys who<br \/>\nAnd, as for girls<br \/>\nWell now can it be true<br \/>\nIt gives me the jitters<br \/>\nI do have to say<br \/>\nHaving worked around butchers<br \/>\nI recall to this day<\/p>\n<p>Their evil the ugliness<br \/>\nTheir consciousness they<br \/>\nAre crude they are rude<br \/>\nAt the end of the day<br \/>\nLewd in their thinking<br \/>\nDisrespectful of life<br \/>\nHeartless and pitiless<br \/>\nSkilled with the knife<br \/>\nBoning and slicing and<br \/>\nGiving me grief<br \/>\nThat a ten year old child<\/p>\n<p>Its beyond my
