hunting for fun
is something to shun
don't go with a gun
& make rabbits run
bid farewell to snares
foxes & hares
have enough cares
don't badger badgers
but pander to pandas
please spare goosey ganders
have pity not paté
don't batter fishes
or keep hens in batteries
the lives of our poultry
should not be thought paltry
eating veal is vile
abstaining from flesh
needn't mean self-denial
are you deaf to the cries
of livestock that dies
& whales bewailing
harpoons impaling
their nearest & dearest
it's the severest mortal sin
to sport a baby seal skin
calling killing culling
hardly excuses
this bloody abuse
there ought to be a law
against such awful slaughter
O when will it sink in
all creatures are our kin
& mankind is the unkindest
blindest animal
of all
you look good in a fur coat...
the animal did too
the animal doesn't look as good without it
