“People just don’t get it or just don’t care.
It doesn’t matter where you abandon a pet,
It’s a horrendous act of cruelty and murder.”
From the highways to the forests
We find more abandoned pets today
Their numbers are hideously increasing
They give us love; we throw them away
A week doesn’t go by, these truly abysmal days
When we don’t get another call, about another one
“There is an abandoned dog on the side of the road,
It’s starving and it’s injured, dying out there in the sun.”
“There is a crippled old dog wandering in the forest,
She’s skin and bones and now so terrified of mankind;
I tried to catch her, but she scurried away into the brush,
Someone has got to help her; I think she may be going blind.”
“I was jogging down by the river just yesterday morning,
When I saw a guy toss six puppies from the back of a van;
I was able to catch two of them before they ran off in terror,
If you want to look for the rest, they are all tiny, dirty, and tan.”
“I was walking my dog in my neighborhood late last night,
When I saw a pathetic looking dog digging through the trash;
I called it, but it took off and crawled inside an old warehouse,
If you want to help it before it dies of starvation, get out here fast.”
And right now, we’re attempting to rescue a mange ridden dog
That sleeps in the bushes outside a church, and wanders in a forest
He won’t survive much longer, and he doesn’t trust any human now
We believe that he was abused then abandoned, just like all of the rest
From the highways to the forests,
We find more abandoned pets today;
Their numbers are hideously increasing,
They give us love, and we throw them away.
