Why do we treat animals like animals? Animals treat us so very well The devoted way they serve us and protect us When we're nervous they really don't deserve us All we give them is Hell Why do we treat animals like animals? How can people be so inhumane? What do we do we neglect them we do nothing To protect them we reject them Don't expect them to complain When will we stop treating them like animals? How can human beings cause so much pain? We ignore them or we beat them When we're hungry then we eat them, It's appalling how we treat them - it's insane I do not understand the human race That has so little love for creatures with a different Face We humiliate and murder and confine them We create their wretched status Then we use it to malign them When you dress in suede or leather Or some fancy fur or feather Do you stop and wonder whether for a Fad You have killed some beast or other That you're wearing someone's Brother Or perhaps it's someone's Mother in which you're clad We've made the whole world a zoo, For Man is an animal too.
