Greenpeace

I had a track meet in Barbers Hill today. I placed 4th and 5th. I guess I did good. I got a bunch of signatures from other schools for my petition. I'm super tired and have a pile of homework to finish. I hung up more flyers but I didn't do as much as yesterday. I never realized how many people discriminate against vegetarians. People are so cruel in this society. In English class some one squished a spider. It wasn't hurting anyone!

Today I got 150 people to sign a petition saying they would like an alternative to dissecting. I hung up flyers all over my school. I put stickers on the lockers and made speeches. I made a shirt that said cut class not frogs and wore it today. I also wrote a really good poem about animal rights:

I didn't ask you to stroke my hair.

I didn't ask to be taken from my home and locked in a cage for you to stare.

I don't want my fur and skin to be some thing that people wear.

If I could speak , I would make you aware.

I would make you think and maybe even care.

Just because I don't look or act like you, doesn't mean I shouldn't be treated fair.

I don't want my species to become extinct or rare.

Don't beat me.

Don't mistreat me.

I have feelings, too.

How would you feel if your hair was my rug and I wiped my feet on you.

I read it to my creative writing and english class. They really seemed to like it. This summer I plan to make a huge difference. I'm going to rise against. I will save the world!
