Tortured!

The most loyal of pets

Transformed into the most luxurious meal

One thousand plus

Snatched, bought or bred

Crammed into cages

On a single truck

For days they travel

No food, no water

Scared to death is no longer a term

In a horrific state they arrive

At destination hell

The lucky ones are electrocuted

The rest are beaten, bludgeoned, skinned, hung

Or even boiled alive

Stressful death

Unveils the most tender meat

This myth holds hands with

A misapprehension of health benefits

30 million canine, 10 million feline per year

All consumed for profit

Delicacy?

Or a disease of man’s mind?

No empathy, no respect
