'To the Irresponsible Breeder'- A Poem.

Sooz

Wise Old Thumper
Remember me? To the Irresponsible Breeder.

Remember me, though I know that you won't
I'm the rabbit you bred, I'm the soul that you owned

Remember my mum, though you'll just get confused
She's the doe that you broke, she's the womb that you used

Remember the vet that you didn't call
When the blood ran so dark in the middle of fall

Remember how cruelly you shoved me away
When I dared nip your hand - I just wanted to play

Remember the age that you wrenched me from mum
With my hold on life fragile and my weaning not done

Remember the home that you didn't check
That kept me confined, picked me up by the neck

You'll remember the blood money you exchanged for my life
You'll remember the goodies it bought you and the wife

Now imagine my fate and cringe with your shame
See my sad lifeless eyes and my skeletal frame

I've known neglect and abuse I feared never would end
and when Death came for me, it came as a friend

There are thousands just like me in the yard, street and pound
And whilst bad breeders breed this grim cycle goes round

You failed in your duty though I was born at your will
Now I'm your fatal shadow that walks by you still

I hope, my cruel breeder, that your guilt's worth your gain
You filled your car with my fear, bought your beer with my pain

But no act goes unnoticed and no sin goes unpaid
You'll account for my life at the end of your days

I'll be right there beside you when at your Reckoning you stand
You'll remember me then - it's my blood on your hands .

I agree with Leanne. It's so sad and upsetting, but I just love the poem in itself. I think I'll keep that aside...

It really is so sad though;
Remember that day when you wrenched me from mum,
With my hold on life fragile and my weaning not done.

that is so sad :( it made me go and snuggle all my buns and remind them i love them. how anyone could treat an animal like that jsut for a few pounds is beyond me.
 
Thats so good, are we allowed to use it on websites etc to try to get the message through?

Just what I was going to ask.

Definately a brilliant poem, think we should print it and mail it through the door of people we know to be breeding ;)
 
:cry: I hate some humans! Hopefully there will be pay back to them one day!

Bunnies not a pet to me, she's my daughter! Don't like the word pet!
