Sheepskin, Pigskin, Deerskin
By Anonymous
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.

Sheepskin, Pigskin, Deerskin
By Anonymous

A sheepskin is not a sign
of learning
but of the abuse of sheep.
A pigskin is not a sign
of sportsmanship
but of a people and pig
abusing sport.
A deerskin is not a sign
of peace.. but of violence
to the innocent.
A cowskin on the seats
.. is a sign of unconscious
brutality to cows, 
whose names God knows
