Paint Her Divine
By Linda Beane
An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize. This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves.

Paint Her Divine
By Linda Beane

Look at her, will ya?
Standing there so proud. 
Wearing someone else's skin.
Dead animals draped over her body.
Pieced together furry flesh.
Heads, tails, and paws hanging lifeless,
Blood stains covered with satin linings.
Sterilized orifices clasped around shellacked "snout" buttons.
A burial plot for the anguished.
This fur coat is nothing but class.
CLASS ONE CRUELTY
I `d say its a Red Fox,
About 42 red fox to be exact.
Disposable lives feeding vain egos.
126 trash animals dead, too.
Leghold traps aren't choosy.
Discarded, their suffering irrelevant.
2,520 hours spent in traps.
So she can have a coat.
GOD!!!
Look at her, will ya!!!
Standing there so proud.
Anyone got some spray paint??
I'd like to paint a picture.
