Go through that door
You'll never come back
The walls are bars
The floors are hard
People I've not met
Have judged me bad
They say it's my type
I can only be bad
Bred for money
Without a care
A needle awaits me
It's really not fair
So here I sit
Awaiting my fate
Through accident of birth
A Pit Bull I am.

That is so sad **wipes away a tear**
ReplyDeleteAwww bles xxx
DeleteThat is beautiful but so sad too. There are far to many dogs getting put down for no reason apart from their breed. End BSL now!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy
DeleteBSL needs to end, I had tears in my eyes as I wrote this, its a situation that makes me so very angry..
Very touching...even sadder because it's true. Innocent animals being vilified for no other reason than their breed.
ReplyDeleteThank you for popping over from facebook Nellie/Betsy and leaving such a lovely comment.
DeleteAnimals and babies are the only true innocents, yet they suffer the most in life..
Oh wow! Very true, very sad. Thank you for writing this!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving such a lovely comment..
DeleteVery sad and all because of humans bad behaviour
ReplyDeleteIt is Jill, so pleased to have had this opportunity to express myself, I'm quite enjoying the depths I'm finding within myself for this BlogFlash..
DeleteOf course, the innocence of animals. Not born evil x.
ReplyDeleteIt's always the innocent animals for me Lesley, have seen some great posts out there today, off to read yours in a sec.
DeleteReally enjoying this BlogFlash and glad I've signed up to it, I think I may have a poet screaming to get out, although I don' remember eating one lol xx
The innocence of animals . . so very sad. Too many animals are mistreated and made to suffer. You highlight the Pit Bull's case here brilliantly. x
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment Lizzie, I seem to be finding something very deep within myself on this BlogFlash..
DeleteThat's a very poignant piece Dawn. As a dog mensch, I had to make the ugly admission not too long ago that, I too harbored bad thoughts based solely on the breed. Shame on me and thank you God for helping me to understand.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment,
DeleteThe important thing is you have changed your opinion, with all the hype and publicity the majority of people believe what they read.
A dog should only ever be judged on Deed not Breed...
I hate when people blame a dog for it's owner's habits and training. There is nothing wrong with a pitbull, if treated properly. It's so sad to think of those innocent lives lost for stupid people.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment Kimberly,
DeleteI had Rottweilers for many years and went through the nightmare of bad publicity in the late 80's and 90's. It was an awful time, but nowhere near as bad as the witch hunt against Pit Bulls.
It's so disheartening that so many of these type of dogs are bred with no consideration for the rest of their lives or their temperament. I wish I was able to do more.
Really touching poem! It's sad that Pit Bulls are judged so. I've met some that were the SWEETEST dogs ever!
ReplyDeleteThank you for you lovely comment Amanda.
DeleteThey can be very sweet, it's people that are the problem.
