It was written by a woman named Angie who works in a shelter here in Ontario.

 

 Very sad poem, but very powerful.

I killed Another Pit Bull Today

Another day, another damn dollar
I shake my head, and hand back the collar.
I killed another pit bull today
What do you people want me to say?

Believe I heard this story before
Starts with cute little puppy, say no more,
Then that puppy grew up quick
This story is starting to make me sick.

It’s easy for you to walk through my door
But my head hurts and my heart is sore
So I killed another Pit Bull today
People, I don’t know what to say

Dogs at large and people don’t care,
Back yard breeders, responsible owner is rare
Didn’t know if my dog should see a vet
Not spayed or vaccinated either I bet

My shelter door is a revolving one
Everyday when I think I am done
Another Pit Bull Dies that day
Please don’t ask, I don’t know what to say

In the truck just driving around
Barking dogs is a pleasant sound
Pit Bull no muzzle, Breed ban in
This dog will die, what a Sin.

You call me a killer, a murderer right
You’re the irresponsible owner in my sight
So I killed another Pit bull today
And through my tears, I can not say

I got this job so I could care
For the unwanted animals, how is this fair?
Irresponsible owner makes me clean up their mess
My emotions are drained and I need some rest

My future is not looking too bright
Tomorrow things might look better in different light
But for now I will kill another Pit bull today
But you did this; not me is all I can say.
