The Night Of The Freezing
The Night Of The Freezing – January 6, 2014 – The Arctic Vortex hits Canada and the USA and dogs chained outside suffer terribly. These few words are for them – so in death – they know they are never forgotten:
“Twas the night of the freezing
When all through the land
Doggies lay dying
With no helping hand.
The owners sat snug and warm in their homes
While judges complained about old legal tomes
The puppies were crying – their little pink pads
Turned purple with frostbite – these poor little lads.
Their mothers sat helpless – chained to the bone
While whimpers turned silent – now cold as a stone
Some humans cried foul – these deaths must all stop
But others just shrugged and said “go call a cop”.
By morning the snow coats a silent sweet hound
Where life had once sparkled – no longer a sound
And humans now rise and stretch in the dark
On a day when we’re missing another sweet bark!
Rosemary Wright – Canada – witness to this travesty . . .
And still the laws do not change – animals have no rights and we allow
Cruelty that knows no bounds – yet another day – ashamed to be human!
