[hometext] => Form their eyes to your ears
[bodytext] => You should have heard the protests as we euthanaized last week! The watching dogs stood barking their rebellion. Their faces seemed to reflect the thoughts so heavy on their minds Like, "Why did HE go down? He wasn't such a hellion." They voiced their anger loudly to the vet with the big syringe As, one by one, their comrades hit the floor. And then, when all was said and done, a silence settled in. They were grieving for the friends they'd see no more. If what you just heard bothers you, be assured that it bothers us too. This scene unfolds for us week after week. We get attached to your missing dogs. And when euthanasia day arrives? If you were there you'd see a tear slide down our cheeks. It isn't a pleasant thing that we do on euthanasia day. Our hearts are not as hard as you might guess. BUT When thousands of animals come through our door every single year Euthanasia is the way this problem's addressed. I cannot help but wonder, "Where are the owners of these dogs?" Very few come seeking their lost pet. It puzzles me because I know how much I love my dog. And if she were missing I'd be quite upset. I'd check the shelter FIRST to see if I might find her there. I wouldn't wait for days and weeks to pass. We onlly hold your pet so long - and when that time is up? Don't think about it! Just get down here fast! Even though we've focused in on dogs we get cats too. All you've heard applies to them as well. So if your pet is missing, pretty please - won't you come look? We'd love to see you free them from their cell. P.S. If you're among those who think it's great to let your pet have babies, (Babies that you KNOW you cannot keep) I promise you it's more humane to have your dear pet spayed Than it is to put her little babes to sleep. In loving memory of all the animals that shouldn't have had to die so soon.

to YPDC.Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
