animals have feelings too

when you look into a hounds eyes
and know what it is thinking as he howls
with fright from the approaching storm
you know that animals have feelings too

when you see a mother horse
kiss her baby for the first time
with the warmth in her eyes
as she nuzzles her new born
you know that animals have feelings too

when you see a mother elephant
reach out her trunk to her baby
as her baby cries for her mom in loss
you know that animals have feelings too

many dolphins spilling blood
all down a clear blue stream
all you hear are the shreeks
from the pain they feel
you know that animals have feelings too

I see many hunters gloating over
there brand new kill
that was taken just for sport
and they failed to see
that animals have feelings too

I feel that if someone takes the time to see around themselves they will see that animals are treated in a very inhumane way. I see dolphins, seals, elephants, rhinos and even the fearsome shark being slaughtered in inhumane ways. So many people just don’t care to look out on the streets and see people dump a pet out on the cold lonely country and no one cares to see that it gets a caring home. I’ve seen stray pets get hit by cars and no one stop to see if the animal is in need of a vet. And yet, I see so many mothers teach their children what all of these animals names are and they all fail to see that this world would be a sad lonely place with out the splash of a fish, the glare of a tiger, the smell of a skunk, the warble of a robin and the color of a peacock but yet I see no one trying to protect the animals that we see and hear every day.
