Take wild tours through safari fairs
touch the wild animals if you dare;
climb on the beastly rides in search of hides
skin those beasts, protect your pride!

Out from safari mazes you peek
Is this the route your soul must seek?
worldly creatures we despised
'cause we killed them silly on our rise.

We killed them silly, shot them dead
once the carcasses had bled
we moved to tusks and horns
it was the animal we had scorned.

Creature abundance has ebbed for you and me
the genesis of fauna would fill the seas;
but a hunters shot is still a breeze
and humanity is down on its knees.

the idea of killing animals just to kill them, makes me so angry....you hit a nerve with this....I believe in hunting, FOR FOOD. Those that hunt for sport are, well, I can't say....

I agree with SEA, even though I don't hunt myself. You expressed your beliefs rather well, ercivan...well done.
