There is a much bigger problem, when we think of how animals are treated who are being raised as food for us - appalling conditions.....that whales are being killed, dolphins massacred, fins cut off of live sharks, the sharks discarded, animals skinned or ground up alive................and never any legislation to protect them, because the bottom line is always money. Very distressing. As a species, we have so much to answer for. Thanks for reading and caring, thanks so much!<br />Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-20503864667516026842013-02-10T20:13:10.908-08:002013-02-10T20:13:10.908-08:00I think you've raised a better question, Sherr...I think you've raised a better question, Sherry.

I think there's just been a big release of lab chimpanzees in the States. I will look for a link and send it to you. Of course, for many of them it is after years. Let me see if I can find. The book looks very interesting and you poem works very well. k.

For years I've refused to buy anything at all that doesn't say 'never tested on animals,' (which means a lot of searching and buying off brands and not wearing make up) but the medical research is worse, and there's not much you can do about that but write letters and sign petitions. It's good to know there are sanctuaries for some of the poor survivors, and people who care trying to help them. <br /><br />This is an intensely moving poem, and the form works really well, with those repeating horrific lines. Thanks so much for speaking out on this issue, and for sharing with us.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.com
