Vigil.

The Vigil today was heart breaking and powerful. we had an excellent turnout, a family from Lincoln came up with their four year old son who was born a vegan, he did an excellent job showing his sign to the cars that passed by. We had Vegan dogs too.

We had support from the community and the police, then the local newspaper turned up to interview us and take our picture. The chickens who are brought to slaughter are only six weeks old, they have never touched grass, never been in the sunlight, they are born, over fed then crammed into small crates where they cant even stand and brought to their deaths. They have never seen kindness, love or compassion. 12,000 an hour are killed here every day, for what, we don’t need to eat meat. Needless slaughter.

We stand united, we are Doncaster animal save, from the save movement, a world wide movement, we are here to say, we see you, we are trying and were sorry. We show them some love and compassion in their final moments of life. stop the needless murder of animals and go vegan.

here’s my poem inspired by these events.

A Vigil

bearing witness as thousands

come here, to meet their end.

Pointless, meaningless.

Their short lives, gone

Taken

in suffering, violence

and torture.

they feel pain, just like us.

We are here to show them

we are not all the same,

we give love, compassion

We see you, we understand

we are trying to change the world

and we are sorry.

We are the only ones

to show respect to them

at the end

at least they saw love just once

in the eyes of man.

Surely if they spoke

and had a religion

then man would be their devil.

A Vigil

Bearing witness

to the abuse of our fellow animals.

We are all here together
