The dog who came to dinner
had hopes on kindness pinned
alas his time was wasted
kicked to the side again
No bone or bread was tasted
no scraps were given him
the dog so aggravated
kicked to the side again
As chances for him faded
the future looking grim
he sulked under the table
kicked to the side again
There will be no celebrating
for poor old dogs like him
for kindness he's still waiting
kicked to the side again.

You're right on a legal front, Brian. "Slaughtered" is a more appropriate term anyways seeing as animals are slaughtered and no one gives a shit until they need a sandwich.
Seeing to that logic though, is it really appropriate to ever label a massacre of people as a 'slaughter' since the connotation is usually reserved for the killing of animals? Can't have it one way and not the other. Then we stand the risk of being a hypocrite with little logic.?

Being pedantic, a murder charge only applies when a human is the victim.

There are those animals that are abused, and then there are those that are murdered for no reason at all. Either way, great piece of yours.?

Actually, dogs are happiest when they know their place in the pecking order. Provided your dog Knapey wasn't actually kicked but left to eat after everyone else had finished he would have been perfectly happy as long as this pattern was followed consistently.
Or perhaps you're not talking about dogs at all?

For all abused animals.

For some reason I was thinking on a completely different plane here. I didn't even think it was an animal. I thought it was talking about a homeless underdog person
'for kindness he's still waiting
kicked to the side again'
Thankyou dk for opening up this pathway of thinking ?
