[Intro Music]
[Verse]
The Ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras,
He taught his followers that souls like those in us,
Also existed in animals.
Francis of Assisi, animals’ patron saint,
Saw himself family to creatures, small and great.
Legend has it that he tamed a wolf.
Leonardo Da Vinci, the famous artist,
Showed animals compassion, since his life started,
He bought caged birds just to set them free.
Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher,
He made us question if animals can suffer,
If so, they should have rights morally.
[Chorus]
‘What Measure Is A Non-Human’,
Has always been the human race’s attitude!
But even many years ago,
Animal rights have been defended by a few!
Ahead of their time,
They will find their place in the line,
Of the Animal Lovers Of History!
[Verse]
Henry David Thoreau, to his time, he did teach
The benefits that our species would surely reach,
Caring for the animal kingdom.
Albert Schweitzer, he taught of Reverence for Life,
To never cause another living being strife,
Respect for all life-forms needs to come.
The soldier of peace himself, Mahatma Gandhi,
Declared that the greatness of a nation can be,
Judged on how its animals did fare.
Since he was but a boy, Gerald Durrell did work,
To improve lives of animals that surely were,
All living in suffering out there.
[Chorus]
‘What Measure Is A Non-Human’,
Has always been the human race’s attitude!
But even many years ago,
Animal rights have been defended by a few!
Ahead of their time,
They will find their place in the line,
Of the Animal Lovers Of History!
[Interlude Music]
[Bridge]
Diane Kidd Fossey died protecting gorillas.
Temple Grandin found a way to help calm cattle.
Even today, there are those of us that still work,
To protect animals, and fight every battle!
[Chorus]
‘What Measure Is A Non-Human’,
Has always been the human race’s attitude!
But even many years ago,
Animal rights have been defended by a few!
Ahead of their time,
They will find their place in the line,
Of the Animal Lovers Of History!
