The Snare - hunting

                                 THE SNARE by James Stephens
                                                              I hear a sudden cry of pain!
                                                              There is a rabbit in a snare:
                                                              Now I hear the cry again,
                                                              But I cannot tell from where.

                                                              But I cannot tell from where
                                                              He is calling out for aid!
                                                              Crying on the frightened air,
                                                             Making everything afraid!

                                                             Making everything afraid!
                                                             Wrinkling up his little face!
                                                             And he cries again for aid;
                                                            - and I cannot find the place!

                                                            And I cannot find the place
                                                            Where his paw is in the snare!
                                                            Little One! Oh, Little One!
                                                            I am searching everywhere!

 One of my favourite poems. Makes me cry every time. But it is perfect for todays topic hunting for fun. 


Unlike hundreths of years ago we don't need to hunt to survive. Most people do it for fun or money. In canada hundreths of seal are killed for fun every year, in other countries there are special hunting spots. In countries where animals over populate killing is not painful and necessary. But snares and other forest animal traps are cruel and painful. Sometimes an animal is left in one for so long it dies of hunger or it bleeds to death. Plz stand up for the poor animals

 under this picture someone wrote that it is an awesome rabbit trap. It is not awesome for the rabbit.
