Running
dogs, running horses, running for their lives
Running
from the gunshot and from the butchers knives
Foxhounds and
Trailhounds, covering the ground
Racehorse
and Greyhounds, going round and round
Bred
for mans pleasure, the slaves of his greed
What
will become of them, once they've lost their speed?
Over-bred,
under-valued, what will be their fate?
This
is the side of Sport one can only hate
Thousands
will just be killed, as few will take the time
To
care for or re-home them - a sad and terrible crime
Some of our retired
- or not required - animal athletes
Greyhound in a
'little' bed. See - they don't take up much room...
Run
for your life
Plight
