RATting on the LaboRATory
Animal Rights Poetry By Heidi Stephenson From All-Creatures.org

Don’t satuRATe, dehydRATe, rehydRATe and frustRATe!

Don’t refridgeRATe, respiRATe, then obliteRATe, incineRATe!

Don’t sepaRATe, castRATe, penetRATe and ulceRATe!

Don’t perfoRATe, (prostRATe,) serRATe, then remonstRATe!

Don’t denigRATe, underRATe, exaspeRATe or desecRATe!

Don’t perpetRATe! (Or orchestRATe!) Don’t laceRATe the despeRATe!

Your ‘tests,’ your exploRATive aberRATions - are inaccuRATe!

RecalibRATe! ConcentRATe now on a new narRATive

of fRATernal adoRATion, admiRATion.

VeneRATe! DemocRATize! RATionalize! And libeRATe!

Help all survivors to recupeRATe! CollaboRATe, to make repaRATion!

CommemoRATe the lost geneRATions, the geneRATions lost…

InaugRATe gRATitude (to all your tortured, murdered victims.)

DelibeRATe on what you have done!

Make a declaRATion! Call a MoRATorium

… on the harming of all your fellow beings. RATify it! AbjuRATe.

CommiseRATe.  IntergRATe! IncorpoRATe! RegenRATe

those cruel, irRATional ideas. CerebRATe! AmelioRATe!

CoopeRATe on compaRATive, (non-living, non-suffering,) models.

Don’t exoneRATe the corpoRATe biopiRATes

for whom killing is a lucrative stRATegy! VocifeRATe!

Don’t toleRATe the wRAThful aristrocRAT, theocRAT,

who regard rats as gRATis “specimens,” scRATchy “substRATa”

(the RATsbane who RATtle the compassionate RATepayer.)

DesideRATa.
