I agree to the message of this, animal abuse is something that shouldn't be tolerated.
I think that the poem itself was quite interesting as it is too because of the position you wrote this in. I like the use of repetition, it gives this a lullaby tone , which underlines animals innocence and that it shouldn't be taken from them. Heather, I really enjoy reading your poems and you're definately on my favorites list now! :) Keep up writing.
