“Lovers of the planet weep
For large creatures of the deep
The shark whose fins are good for soup
Or whales whom nasty whalers stoop
To harpoon and dissect for fat;
And in some countries the poor cat is eaten in a catmeat stew
Or roasted on a barbecue.
And they say in North Korea
All dogs are paralysed with fear
As pets who guard the master’s gate,
Could well end up on his plate.”
