A very loving and compassionate friend who takes time out of his busy life to rescue the poor homeless animals wrote this: Frozen Tears “In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: Raising their young, enjoying their native environments, And following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive ‘free’ in our concrete jungles, So it is our God-given responsibility, to take as good care of them as possible.” Out walking the railroad tracks yet once again In search of yet one more freezing, starving pet When someone came upon this deceased canine In our uncaring world, yet one more needless death I could not tell if this poor dog had died from starvation Or, like so many others, had now perished from exposure We picked him up and placed him in the back of the truck Sadly resuming our search for the other poor waif out there And now, my sad thoughts wandered back to New Orleans Where I had found so many deceased ‘left behind’ dogs and cats Our pets give us their all, and they depend on us for their survival Yet today, so many of us abandon them, even discard them like trash And as I walked on, on those railroad tracks, hoping that the next one was alive I lamented the horrid fact, that our species has become, so self-centered and cruel The emaciated frozen canine that we found today deserved far better from mankind For him, and for all just like him, I shed another frozen tear, in my Below Zero Blues ©January 2014, Ed Kostro
