THE DEATH OF THE OLD PLYMOUTH ROCK HEN It was tragic when her time came After a lifetime of laying brown eggs Among the white of leghorns. Now, unattractive to the rooster, Laying no more eggs, Faking it on other hens’ nests, Caught in the act, Taken to the woodpile In the winter of execution. A quick stroke of the axe, One first and last upward cast Of eyes that in life Had looked only down, Scanning the ground for seeds and worms And for the shadow of the hawk. Now those eyes are covered By yellow lids, Closing from the bottom up. Decapitated, she did not act Like a chicken with its head cut off. No pirouettes, no somersaults, No last indignity. Like an English queen, she died. On wings that had never known flight. She flew, straight into the woodpile, And there beat out slow death While her curdled voice ran out in blood. A scalding and a plucking of no purpose. No goose feathers for a comforter. No duck’s down for a pillow. No quill for a pen. In the opened body, no entrail message for the haruspex. Not one egg of promise in the oviduct. In the gray gizzard, no diamond or emerald, But only half-ground corn, Sure evidence of unprofitability. The breast and legs, The wings and thighs, The strong heart, The pope’s nose, Fit only for chicken soup and stew. And then in March, near winter’s end, When bloodied and feathered wood is used, The odor of burnt offerings Above the kitchen stove.

The earth is a great big orphanage for most animals.

The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.

The first dog I had was owned by an abusive couple. He was very skittish. He wouldn’t let me hold him. It was explained to me that it was because of how he was treated.

The first time I saw a cow stagger to his feet and walk around with his trachea dangling outside of his body, I thought to myself, this can-t be happening?but after several days I knew better….There is no justification for the cruelty I documented in that slaughterhouse. The presence of the USDA didn-t have any effect, nor did the presence of the rabbis. These animals were failed by both religion and regulations. PETA Investigator

The following general definition of an animal: a system of different organic molecules that have combined with one another, under the impulsion of a sensation similar to an obtuse and muffled sense of touch given to them by the creator of matter as a whole, until each one of them has found the most suitable position for its shape and comfort.

The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart: She gives me cream with all her might To eat with apple-tart.

The Garden Well–one at least is safe. One shelter’d hare has never heard the sanguinary yell of cruel man, exulting in her woes. Innocent partner of my peaceful home, Whom ten long years’ experience of my care Has made at last familiar; she has lost Much of her vigilant instinctive dread, Not needdful here, beneath a roof like mine. Yes–thou may’st eat they bread, and lick the hand That feeds thee; thou may’st frolic on the floor At evening, and at night retire secure To thy straw couch, and slumber unalarm’d; For I have gain’d the confidence, have peldg’d All that is human in me to protect Thine unsuspecting gratitude and love. If I survive thee I will dig thy grave; And, when I place thee in it, sighing, say, I knew at least one hare that had a friend.
