WHY I DO IT ~ LYRICS BY IFEEL

WARNING!  This post is rated R for ADULT subject matter, images and graphic language.  I have obtained permission to post the following lyrics  from IFEEL directly.  None of the images included in this post are from the IFEEL campaign, but all images have a link encoded to their location.  Reblogs are permitted and encouraged.  Copies, reprints and alterations must be approved by IFEEL (links provided below).

Today we are witness to literally millions of sentient beings being taken from their environments against their will, they are:  exploited, mistreated, abused, tortured, maimed and killed.   According to Animal Welfare Institute (ADI), EVERY HOUR, some 1,000,000 chickens, 13,000 pigs and 4,000 cows are slaughtered for human consumption in the United States. It is a process that takes place far from public view, and one that few know very much about.  Although all sentient beings feel in equality, there is certainly no equality in the manner in which the human species treats the animal species.  I cannot stand it anymore.  I have decided to lend voice to innocent, living beings who cannot speak for themselves, thus this blog was created.

IFEEL, a hip-hop/rap artist  has appeared on the animal rights scene with fury.  He pulls no punches, minces no words and does not hold back one iota of passion nor intention in the delivery of his message.  He works from his heart and soul using the tools of his talent, his words and his influence.   I admire his music and his honesty.  The lyrics to “Why I Do It” are bold and without apology, as all of our words should be as we strive to right this gross injustice.

Blessings on those who lend voice to living beings who cannot speak for themselves!

WHY I DO IT ~LYRICS BY IFEEL

“I DO IT WITH A PEN, NOT A KNIFE OR A GUN

I TALK THE TALK, I DON’T WALK I F*CKIN RUN

AND IF I COULD I WOULD BURN IT ALL LIKE A SUN

ASHES TO ASHES – THAT DAY WILL COME

I DO IT COS IT’S SAD TO SEE WHAT WE’VE BECOME

I DO IT COS THERE IS MUCH MORE TO BE DONE

I DO IT FOR YALL WHO CARE – F*CK MASS APPEAL

IF YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART THEN YOU KNOW THAT IT’S REAL

I DO IT COS THE MONEY RIPS THE HEART OUT WITH STEEL

SO THEY CANNOT HEAR THE PAIN AND THE FEAR THAT THEY FEEL

I DO IT COS IT’S SO DAMN EASY TO KILL

BREED IT FEED IT CUT IT SHIP IT –

SERVE A HAPPY MEAL

~~~

~~~

I DO IT COS THEY

STEAL EM BEAT EM BREED EM

AND BLEED EM TREAT EM

LIKE TRASH –

THROW EM AWAY WHEN THEY DON’T NEED EM

~~~

THAT’S SICK –

NO COMPROMISE (NOOOOO)

NOTHIN BUT THE FREEDOM

YES WE GETTIN EVEN –

NOTHIN BUT THE FREEDOM (NOOOOO)

~~~
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME, THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES

IT’S REALLY SIMPLE, LET ME

SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES

THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT

~~~

~~~
I DO IT FOR THE CALF IN BOX 44

HE CAN ONLY STAND UP AND FALL ON THE FLOOR

I DO IT FOR THE DOG SKINNED ALIVE FOR FUR RABBIT IN A BAG

– SCARED –

WAITIN TO BE SERVED

LITTLE PIGS WHOSE CRIES WILL NEVER BE HEARD

I DO IT FOR THE MICE AND EVERY SINGLE BIRD

I DO IT FOR THE CHICKEN WITH A HEAD CUT OFF

EVERY SLICE F*CKIN BURNS TILL THE HEAD COMES OFF

I DO IT FOR THE HORSE CHOPPED UP FOR A SAUSAGE

IT’S SAD HOW SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEARNED NOT TO BE SAVAGE

I DO IT FOR MY DOGS AND CATS

IN EVERY JAIL

WITH NO CHANCE OF BAIL –

IN THIS MAN MADE HELL

I DO IT FOR THE CHICKS GETTING GROUND UP ALIVE

COWS IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE TERRIFIED BEFORE THEY DIE

I DO IT FOR THE DUCK GETTIN STUFFED TO DEATH

I’LL DO IT TILL I DIE – TILL MY LAST F*CKIN BREATH AHHHHH

~~~
THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE FAME, THIS AIN’T ABOUT THE BITCHES

IT’S REALLY SIMPLE, LET ME

SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES

THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT – THIS IS WHY I DO IT

~~~

~~~
I DO IT COS I’M PISSED AND SICK OF ALL THE LIES

I DO IT COS I CRY WHEN I LOOK INTO THOSE EYES

I DO IT FOR THE DOLPHIN SLICED UP ALIVE

I DO IT FOR THE PITBULLS FIGHTIN TILL THEY DIE

I DO IT FOR THE NAMELESS BODY ON THE PRODUCTION LINE

EVERYDAY A MASSACRE – PAIN IS HEINOUS ALL THE TIME

I DO IT COS I HEAR EM SCREAMIN WHEREVER THEY HIDE EM

AND EVEN IF THEY SHIP EM AND FLY EM – WE STILL GONNA FIND EM

~~~

I DO IT FOR THE BIRDS IN THE BATTERY CAGES

I DO IT FOR THE MODERN-DAY SLAVES IN THE CAGES

CHIMP IN A SEAT WITH A SKULL CRACKED OPEN

CAT WITH NO SLEEP WITH A MOUTH WIDE OPEN

I DO IT COS OF WEAK-ASS HUNTING LITTLE BITCHES

BIG GUNS

NO BALLS

SNAPPIN THEIR LITTLE PICTURES

KILL EM WHILE THEY CAN –

TILL WE GET SOME GLITCHES

F*CK THE BANDAID –

WE GONNA NEED SOME STITCHES

“Killing animals for sport,

for pleasure,

for adventures,

and for hides and furs

is a phenomenon which is at once

disgusting and distressing.

There is no justification

in indulging in such acts of brutality.”

~  His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama

Howling For Justice

I can hardly believe the numbers. 605 wolves have been slaughtered in the combined hunts since August 30, 2012.  In 102 days or a little over three months, hundreds of wolves have been wiped out. Images of their mangled, bloodied bodies litter FB and hunting forums. The smiling, grinning wolf killers are gloating in their blood bath. AND this is only December. Montana opens wolf trapping season on December 15.  The Colville Tribes in Washington state are  hunting wolves on their reservation.

Seven collared wolves from Yellowstone National Park have been killed.

Killed late October: 824M of the Mollies pack.

Early November: 829F of the Blacktail Plateau pack.

November 10th in WY: 754M of the Lamar Canyon pack.

November 13th in MT: 823F of the Junction Butte pack (sole collar).

Date/location unknown: 762M and 763F of the Madison pack.

Date unknown, killed in WY: 793(?) of the Snake River pack.

IN THE INTEREST OF FAIRNESS

IN THE INTEREST OF FAIRNESS

It appears that man”kind”

is more the problem

than the solution

to the ever increasing loss of rain forests,

the polar ice caps

our polluted oceans, rivers and streams,

 and the disappearance of the majestic species of the animal kingdom.

I wonder . . .

if nonhuman animals were in charge of the  thinning out

of grossly-over-populated man”kind,”

who is the criminally-careless destroyer

of this earth

how would they choose to handle the “inconvenient situation” ?

would they club us to death,

indiscriminantly kill the mother’s of nursing babies,

destroy our communities, drive us from our homes

take away our food so that we simply died of starvation

or perhaps set iron traps that broke our bones,

leaving us there in terror and overwhelming pain

to either die alone

or to be fed upon by another species.

Or would they scare us in mass groups

so that in a desperate act of survival,

we ran together into large nets

 left to die in mass prisons.

We might be excellent specimens

in a laboratory

for understanding the effects

of greed and indifference

on all of creation

Perhaps they would kill us just for the fun of it,

once dead,  in ridiculous pose, sit upon our backs

and have their photos taken of the grizzly prize

awaiting pending posting

to their Facebook pages.

I don’t think so.

The Animal Spirits

live at a much higher level

of consciousness

than this.
