This may turn your stomach
\nits a vile and awful trade
\nit tears into one’s psyche
\nin blood and guts its laid
\nCalifornia of all places
\nthat bans the sale of horse
\nfor slaughter on this planet
\nbut it happens there of course<\/p>\n
CFIA feedlots
\nhuge lots that export
\nfoals live, foals to Canada
\nand onto Japan who thought
\nthat it was right or possible
\nbut in the dead of night
\nthey are loaded on great silver trucks
\nwe all know its not right<\/p>\n
they are bound for Calgary
\nInternational Airport
\nfor its there
\nthese darling little sugar lumps
\nare shipped into despair
\nFrom the US into Calgary
\nthat’s many many miles
\nmay be it could take 3 days
\ntheir freedom it defiles<\/p>\n
their force loaded and packed
\nin crates which can be rather tight
\nthey haven’t sufficient headroom
\nwhich we know, just isn’t right
\nbut the market stands a good price
\nthey are going to Japan
\nthey will end up in raw sushi
\nthat is the big plan<\/p>\n
they are healthy virile animals
\nwho should run wild and free
\ninstead they are rounded up and shipped
\noff to Calgary.
\nImagine how they feel these horses
\ntrucked across the state
\naround 700 every year
\nits the cruellest fate<\/p>\n
imaginable for these sweet souls
\nwho did nobody wrong
\nbut the thought of such big money
\nits not where some belong
\nbut clearly there’s a market
\nand, nod nod wink wink they
\nsomehow get round the system
\nand it flourishes today.<\/p>\n
raised like Kobe Beef
\nand sold then to japan
\nCanada exports them in small crates
\nhow it began
\nwho knows but it is happening
\nand in Japan these souls
\nare slaughtered everyone of them
\nand thus take on new roles<\/p>\n
feeding the rich who eat out
\nat drinking restaurants there
\nsituated in every place
\nthey are now everywhere
\nIzakaya Japanese style
\ntheir raw pink flesh we see
\na really fine pink morsel
\na real dead delicacy<\/p>\n
to some its known as “Sakura”
\nthe cherry blossom theme
\nbasashi is raw horse
\nbut its no wondrous dream
\nits infact a nightmare
\nfor these animals
\nYakiniku or barbecue
\nas an ice cream
\nwhose aware?<\/p>\n
Horses healthy horses
\nmust never ever be
\nsacrificed
\nin this dreadful way
\nno one needs to see
\nthis tangle of corruption
\nthe evil of desire
\nit does it turns the stomach
\nto know their fate is dire<\/p>\n
to know they end up
\nin some, so called delicacy
\nswallowed down with god knows what
\nthese were souls once free
\nLive exports they are sinful
\nthese are living breathing souls
\nsubjected to such torture
\nfor what are human goals<\/p>\n
earning money banking dollars
\ncreating wealth abroad
\nits a really nasty attitude
\nthat no one should afford
\nCanada is implicated here
\nis one of how
\nhow does one get their head around this
\nliving in the now<\/p>\n
do you ever wonder
\nwhat its like to be a horse
\nshipped off to your slaughter
\nreally from any source
\nit happens, of course its happens
\nbut that doesn’t make it right
\ndon’t you people have feelings
\nand a conscience
\nhow do you sleep at night?<\/p>\n
how do you come to terms
\nwith this
\nthe terror clearly must
\nbe shared by every one who knows
\nand that is so unjust
\nCraig Downer Wild Horse
\nConspiracy
\na man who dedicates
\nhis life really to
\ninforming and exposing
\nthese evil traits<\/p>\n
that clearly ranchers sometimes
\nfeel
\nwelling up inside
\nthe trade in horses for Japan
\ncan give nobody pride
\nI know the world eats animals
\nof every description, they
\nslaughter them and eat them
\nbillions of them, pay<\/p>\n
with their lives it is what it is
\nfor me a vegan, I
\nam mortified by human beings
\nand I do ask why
\nif they can put themselves into
\nthe place of those that die
\nthose slaughtered beasts
\nwho feel so much
\nand clearly like them cry<\/p>\n
tears that no one sees
\nor hears or wants to see or hear
\nbut tears still they don’t want to die
\nthey all live in such fear
\nevery soul was created by a higher force
\nthan man
\ngiven that pure energy
\nit was a perfect plan
\neach would have a place upon this planet
\nand be free
\ntill man arrived to ruin it
\nand now of course we see<\/p>\n
barbarity afore thought
\nheinous acts of woe
\nthey fight and kill each other
\nso animals must know
\ntheir chance to live a full rich life
\nis harder by the day
\nfor the human un kind is on their case
\nand clearly will find a way<\/p>\n
of taking back advantage
\nof sacrificing life
\nof trading with the morons
\nwho care less about strife
\nwho profit from the fallen
\nwho deal in what is wrong
\nwhose bank balance is healthy
\nand who seemingly belong<\/p>\n
in the positive
\nthe successful
\nthe men of high regard
\nwho work their butts off
\nselling oh! the commercial world
\nis hard
\nthey are seen as model citizens
\nbut their hands are wet with grime
\ntheir hearts are all but broken
\nand can’t face the test of time <\/p>\n
I wallow in such sadness
\nat the thought of those who die
\nthose who have their lives cut short
\nthose who can’t rely
\non the freedom they were given
\nto roam and really be
\nwild and true to nature
\nfor the world at large to see<\/p>\n
Sakura cherry blossoms
\nthat the Japanese admire
\nperfect in every facet
\na kind of living fire
\nthat has inspired so many
\nto write to paint to see
\nand now its deemed to so describe
\nraw horse Basashi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
