HIDDEN MURDERS

Like most crimes, slaughterhouses, animal research laboratories are hidden...so that the screams cannot be heard, the blood, feces, urine, and cadavers cannot be smelled,  the murders cannot be witnessed. This has only been increased by ag gag laws, passed by senators from animal agriculture states. AETA, The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act defines as a terrorist a nonviolent videotaper of voiceless animal slaughter, when in reality the terrorist is the one who cause animals terror. (3 of the 4 original senators who introduced the bill have left the Senate.)

CARNIVOROUS AUTHOR
The carnivore book author whose last name includes the word salad, is antisalad, and promotes the lowest life expectancy diet, the most violent diet, the most deforesting diet, the most energy wasting diet, the diet of carnivores,. He advocates eating 'from nose to tail'. Does that include the animals' eyes, their intestines (called natural casings), blood, mucosa, hooves, bones, nostrils, their bladders, their livers (deaders), kidneys, brains, their tongues? Be careful about whom you eat, carnivores. Cannibal tribes whose members eat brains contract kuru, a Mad Cow like disease.

NONVIOLENT MUSK

*

He walked home
through pine woods
smelling cones'
nonviolent musk.
Evening tv showed
poachers
murdering elephants
for their tusks

and 36 musk oxen

castrated

to make just one

ounce of musk.

ANIMALS SHOT INTO SPACE CIRCLE IN THE VOID*
*
What is the endless agony of monkeys, dogs and mice
and other innocent victims shot into space by the US government
and other countries?
They circled in the void as they
1 slowly starved
2 died of thirst
3 froze
4 were burned alive
5 suffocated
6 were smashed into smithereens
7 burned in an explosion
8 killed themselves

*

DOLPHINARIUM

*

Is calling a commercial or animal research facility
housing kidnapped confined dolphins
a dolphinarium
like naming the solitary confinement
cell in a maximum security prison
a humanarium?

Why is it food for humans
and feed for animals?

Why is it murder when humans kill humans
and 'harvesting', 'culling', 'thinning'
when animals are brutally killed?

*

PIG'S SHOULDERS

 *

A sweet pig
can not give the cold
shoulder
when he's rudely
tapped on
the shoulder
to be murdered and
divided
into parts like
'pork shoulder'

They criticized
him for going to
his death
shrieking
instead of
'like a good soldier'

and no one could
his shoulder
resolder

HORSE VICTIMS

*

Those who work for animals ... work against
bullfights in which horses as well as bulls get gored, against horseracing in which
horses are burned in barn fires, killed by competing gamblers, break their legs, are cruelly whipped
by owners who often view horses as objects and by money mad jockeys.
Horses break legs in fox hunts (banned in Britain if more than
2 dogs are involved). Oscar Wilde's
observation 'the unspeakable in full pursuit of the inedible' is still enacted. Writers like
Rita Mae Brown have eulogized the fox hunt sadism. Men and women dressed like red penguins think they achieve social status with their blood sport.

Horses are routinely hit by cars in Amish country .. humans and mammals are killed.

They still die of thirst ... some of them .. driven unmercifully by unconscious riders.

As of 2018 the movement to ban NYC carriage horses to prevent their being hit by cars and trucks as well as their abuse by owners has not yet been victorious.

While the horses on merry-go-rounds are inanimate, may those
living horses who endlessly take children around in circles...
be freed.

 Nazi tanks crushed
them. They have been burned with bombs, starved,
kidnapped for a quick soldiers' meal.

Finally, horses live lonely lives, deprived of their fellows and thousands
of acres in which to roam, as the Bureau of Land Management
in conjunction with an order giving UK oil company is rounding up some of the last mustangs.

They are shifted from owner to owner, finally ending up
in Canadian, Mexican, Texas and other abbatoirs, hung upside
down before the final cut as they hear the screams of other
victims as a lifetime of forced service ends.

SQUIRREL RIGHTS

*

Many feed the birds. Some of those object
to feeding squirrels and mice... higher
life forms, mammals who nurse their young,  with

4 chambered hearts, than birds with 3 chambered

hearts. In the same way

a Japanese beetle has more rights than a rose.

*

DOUBLE STANDARD

A double standard
To keep in a hot car a beagle
is in most states illegal
but since some humans do
animals eat
it's not unlawful to keep
pigs and cows in freezing or 105
degree truck heat

ANIMAL SUICIDES

At least 3 species have killed themselves...
Dolphins at navy facilities smashed their heads
into concrete walls. A mother bear at
a Chinese bear farm in which there is
constant pain as the bile is removed..
killed her baby and then herself.
Dogs have starved to death at the graves
of their human companions.

(The Day Of The Dolphin by Lilly describes
the dolphin deaths.)
