The World's Biggest Runt Lyrics

An animal has a heart and flesh that is precious
But obviously more to man than animal
An animal is a life. It has a body, a mind
And is it forever and ever to be abused by mankind
At peace in its field, but when human comes near
It cowers away and it trembles with fear
Because it knows that at some point in its life
Man will lead it to fate with the blade of his knife
Eat your pet puppy, what a cruel thing to say
But lead a lamb to slaughter and of course that's ok
From blood soaked death house to well gr(k)illed meal
What right do you offer for the life that you steal
Meat in the restaurant...medium or rare?
How did it get there? Too few really care
Animal for breakfast. Animal for tea
Animal for supper. Well who cares? WE!
Picture the family, knives in their hands
All waiting for mummy to produce the dead lamb
Expectant and hungry to chew on its flesh
Little Sue dosen't like meat. But mummy knows best
She'll tell Sue of protein because that's all that she sees
Mummy's unaware of blood and heart disease
There's millions starving because there's meat on the table
But try and tell mummy and she'll dismiss it as fable
Animals in cosmetics, animals to eat
Animals fill stomachs, but a life is not meat
Animals imprisoned and encaged for our pleasure
Used and abused as mere toys for our leisure
Destroyed and tortured in mans laboratory
Humiliated and stripped of all dignity
Dissected and burned and poisoned to death
And what is the reason? So one may add to ones wealth
Animals for clothing, animals for meals
But what right do you offer for the lives that you steal?
Animals to shoot at, animals to hunt
Definition of human..........................................

We completely denounce the barbaric belief that to slaughter so called lesser species for profit should be viable and morally acceptable.To take the life of any living creature, we see as being totally unacceptable .Deeming ourselves as the most intelligent species, we appear to have reached the conclusion that all other species are expendable. This archaic way of thinking, has led to both the extinction and near extinction of hundreds of species of animal during our short time on earth. What we are faced with is a complete reassessment of our whole moral standards. Not only do we use animals to achieve our own ends, we also seem to believe that it is our natural right to do so.
