Trillions of Animals Died in World War II

Countless trillions of animals died in World War II of atom bomb testing,
of bombing, starvation, abandonment. Animals were bulldozed by tanks, shot
by machine guns. Zoos were intentionally bombed.
Family dairy cows were rounded up, butchered, and eaten. Animals
were victims of torture in military labs.

They died freezing, blown apart, drowned, unfamed,
these helpless victims, silent and unnamed
