It\u2019s all about pre-stunning
\nElectric or captive bolt
\nFollowed by exsanguination
\nBled out that\u2019s the result
\nIneffective stunning can cause
\nAgony and pain
\nNon stun slaughter causes
\nSignificant pain and strain
\n5-7 seconds for sheep apparently
\n22-40 seconds for cattle
\nWho desperately
\nSheep 10 weeks to six months
\nMillions ever hear
\nAnd growing by the moment
\nWhich for the vegan
\nMany a tear
\nAre experienced for certain

\nIt is cruel to allow this
\nAnd it\u2019s growing at a rate<\/p>\n

Halal yes and kosher or Shechits
\nBeing allowed today
\nA religious practice

\nRather than increase
\nThis
\nwe ought to make them see
\nIf it\u2019s really more compassionate
\nTo stun them then it should be.<\/p>\n
