Hanging By A Thread Or Tendon

*

Imagine a cow
shackled and jerked upside down
to hang from metal attached
to her slender ankle, an ankle
which must hold her 1000 pound
body, this after being
jammed into a truck, thirsting, hearing
the cries of her terrorized brethren.
Now she is jerking upside down
as she is stabbed or clubbed.

*

Footnote: Those who choose to put
their appetites above murdered mammals'
rights might consider that many links of

the adrenaline
secreted in terror remain after cooking in the animal's
flesh recreating anger and fright in humans
who eat the animal's subdivided parts.
