MEAT MEANS MURDER     
                                                     
The factory's still churning out, all processed packed and neat.
An obscure butchered substance and the label reads "meat'
Hidden behind false names such as pork, ham, veal and beef.
An eye's an eye, a life's a life, the now forgotten belief.
Yet everyday production lines are feeding out this farce.
Yes to end up on your table, then shat out of your arse.

Yet, still you're queuing, and still you're viewing.
Sawing out limbs just right for stewing.
Carcasses piled up in a heap.
Sort juicy chunks from freezers deep.
Well can't you see that juice is blood.
From newborn throats, red rivers flood
Blood from the young hearts, blood from the veins
Your blood, their blood, serves the same.

Now you're at the table, sitting, grinning.
Sitting there eating, you never realize the filling
It's served upon a sterile plate, you don't think of the killing.
The furthest your brain takes you
"Is it for frying or for grilling?"
You moan about the seal cull, about the whale slaughter
But does it really matter whether it lives on land or water?
You've never had a fur coat, you think it's cruel to the mink.
Well, how about the cow, pig, sheep. Don't they make you think?
Since the day that you were born, you've never been told the missing link.

- CONFLICT
"If we are trespassing, so were the soldiers who broke down the gates of Hitler's death camps;

If we are thieves, so were the members of the Underground Railroad who freed the slaves of the South;

And if we are vandals, so were those who destroyed forever the gas chambers of Buchenwald and Auschwitz."

BUTCHERS
                                        
Through all your research
There's still no cure for a disease like you
Ulcerated eyes show no glimmer of life
Nor do they reflect the pain inflicted by your knife
They're cancerous and bleeding and better off dead
Vivisector, you must be sick in the head
He's a contract killer for the company
To see how their products will affect you and me
The gruesome way in which these animas die
Makes you wonder what's in the products that you buy
From dogs forced to smoke your cigarettes
To the monkeys that suffer electrical shock
Their crying eyes plead from inside a cage
Tortured because they'll never talk
                                                                                
-NAUSEA
EVOLUTION

Out in the garden, there's a little white rabbit
Like Revlon* torture for your clean little habits
As you wash your hair to keep it clean
You get to wonder why vosene's green
And forget about the silent animal screams

Out in the garden, there's a little white dog
Shampoo in your eyes like a burning fog
But it's tried and tested so you won't go blind
Animals killed for the good of mankind
For your shining hair, so many have died

Out in the garden, there's a little white cat
And you're catching cancer as you smoke that fag
"When will they find the cure?" you choke
When enough cats have died of smoke
And they say that animals go for the throat

And the monkeys in the zoo, they look so tame
In the name of science, they've removed their brains
To think that man evolved from this beast
Civilized savages down from the trees
The animals who run these labratories

"My Lords, I have heard it said once and the saying has haunted me ever since - that if animals believed in the devil, he would look remarkably like a human being"

- Lord Bishop of Manchester
"The struggle for animal liberation is not one that will be won easily - it will mean a lot of paper work, a lot of phone calls, a lot of arguing, a lot of demonstrations, a lot of fines, a lot of money, but most of all a lot of legislation. For over a hundred years, millions of animals have suffered.  It is time to put an end to this evil form of witchcraft, one way or another!"

- Unknown
"...the question is not, can they reason?, nor can they talk? but, can they suffer"?

- Albert Einstein

- Transpecies Unlimited
"The animals of the world exist for their own means. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men."

- Alice Walker
"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is - whether the victim is human or animal - we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing, we set back the progress of humanity".

- Rachel Carson
"Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace."

- Albert Schweitzer
"Every year tens of thousands of animals suffer and die in laboratory tests of cosmetics and household products despite the fact that the test results do not help prevent or treat accidental or purposeful misuse of products. Please join me in using your voice for those whose cries are forever sealed behind the laboratory doors."

- Woody Harrelson
"When I was twelve, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature [who] was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning."

- Marv Levy (Pro football coach)
"If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons."

"My doctrine is this: that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and we do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt."

- Anna Sewell, (English Novelist)

- Dr. Charles Mayo, Founder of the Mayo Clinic
"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."

- Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher

"The cruel wild beast is not behind the bars of the cage. He stands in front of it."

- Axel Munthe
"Cruelty to animals is one of the most significant vices of a low and ignoble people. Wherever one notices them, they constitute a sure sign of ignorance and brutality which cannot be painted over even by all the evidence of wealth and luxury. Cruelty to animals cannot exist together with true education and true learning."

- Alexander von Humboldt
"The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That's the essence of inhumanity. "

- George Bernard Shaw
"Certainly one of the highest duties of the citizen is a scrupulous obedience to the laws of the nation, But it is certainly not the highest duty".

- Thomas Jefferson
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are the people who want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will"

- Frederick Douglas, Abolitionist
"I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race. The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further".

- Mark Twain
"The average beast of prey is a decent creature who merely kills for the sake of food or in a fight against an enemy. It is only man who calls killing "sport" and kills for the pleasure of killing; not for food, not for self-defense, but just to satisfy some primitive instinct, once necessary and now perverted".

- Gilbert Murray
"It is an unfortunate fact that those people who are most eloquent in their demand for the conservation of animals are often those most eager to violate animal life at the first opportunity".

- Andew Linzey
"We have never understood why men mount the heads of animals and hang them up to look down on their conquerers. Possibly it feels good to these men to feel superior to animals, but does it not
seem that if they were sure of it they would not have to prove it? Often a man who is afraid must constantly demonstrate his courage and, in the case of the hunter, must keep a tangible record of his courage".

- John Steinbeck
"Hunting ... the least honorable form of war on the weak".

- Paul Richard

ONE STRUGGLE, ONE FIGHT
                                                     
Cut down the rainforests, so cattle can graze
A short sighted act causing long term malaise
Rare species and plant life extinct for all time
As they carve the ridiculous from the sublime
Feed the bulk of grain harvested to the meat herds
While people are starving all over the world
The waste from herds poisons water supplies
The meat industry causes people to die
Stop interspecies discrimination
Animal liberation is human liberation
Put an end to all exploitation
Animal liberation is human liberation
How can you speak of compassion
When the weakest are treated in this fashion
Human liberation, animal rights
One struggle, one fight
Give all sentient creatures consideration
Animal liberation is human liberation
Put an end to all exploitation
Animal liberation is human liberation
The basic roots of oppression
Stem from hierarchical obsession
Human liberation, animal rights
One struggle, one fight
Destroy the exploitive corporations
Animal liberation is human liberation
Put an end to all exploitation
Animal liberation is human liberation
Create the illusion that science cures all
Shout about breakthroughs that aren't there at all
Deride all your critics as dangerous cranks
To keep public donations flowing into the bank
No justification for all we are told
Vivisection's has not yet cured so much as a cold
Stop the money men, ignore all their patter
Profits mean all to them, health and saftey don't matter
Animal Liberation is human liberation
