Veterinarians For Animal Rights Poem by O Anna Niemus

In his life of rescuing animals
he had encountered
veterinarians who vivisected,
veterinarians who hunted
veterinarians who believed
humans but not animals had souls
veterinarians who were meat inspectors
of the cadavers of murdered mammals
veterinarians who treated only large animals
.... akin to the physicians who treat those
on death row

He knew that he preferred healers who
were members of Veterinarians For
Animal Rights
