<p style="text-align:left;"><em>I was caught, then, taken away</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>I’d, rolled up my body to object</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>But, very shortly, I was, tossed, into a crate</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Without any light</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>In pitch-black darkness</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>I don’t know</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Where, they’re, taking me</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://pgw.udn.com.tw/gw/photo.php?u=https://uc.udn.com.tw/photo/2017/01/01/1/3017623.jpg&amp;x=0&amp;y=0&amp;sw=0&amp;sh=0&amp;sl=W&amp;fw=1050&amp;exp=3600" rel="prettyPhoto[pp_gal]"><img title="我被抓走了捲起的身子抵抗但馬上被丟進箱子裡沒有光線一片漆黑我..." src="https://pgw.udn.com.tw/gw/photo.php?u=https://uc.udn.com.tw/photo/2017/01/01/1/3017623.jpg&amp;x=0&amp;y=0&amp;sw=0&amp;sh=0&amp;sl=W&amp;fw=1050&amp;exp=3600" alt="我被抓走了捲起的身子抵抗但馬上被丟進箱子裡沒有光線一片漆黑我..." /></a>artwork from the papers&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>I’d bumped around, for several miles, I suppose</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Then, I was, dragged, inside that crate, off</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>And locked up, inside a place, where no one can hear me scream</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Heard something from outside that said,</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>“Caught something that can be sold for a high price.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>My flesh and my skin, they can, continue on</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>But, inside that crate, my life</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Was, counting down.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We caught ourselves, a LIVE one here!!!  Photo from online&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">So, this, is from the perspectives of the “beast”, and because they’re, lower order of animals (unlike us, intelligent, are you sure about that???), and that, is why humans think, that they can, TAKE as they pleased, they can HUNT down as many species of animals they wanted to, without knowing, that the natural world IS on loan to us, and that if we keep on, overhunting, the other species of equally important living organisms, we’re the ones, bringing about our own ends!</p>
