Melvina, a very sad and touching tale, which is all too common I am afraid. Being an animal lover this little poem touched the fabric of my soul. It always distresses me to read about God's creature falling victim to man's greed. A powerful write from someone who does it best. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
