Read the following poem and answer the questions that follows:
The parallel is obvious for those with eyes to see
For all feel the same suffering, all the same misery
The segregation of priviledged from those considered tools
The state miseducation that makes all citizens fools
Taught that dogs and cats should be treated well as pets
While in the cold laboratories same animals meet their deaths
With painful experimentation for more products to consume
A cheap way to make profits sends animals to their ****
Consider factory farms with the animals crammed inside
With no access to daylight, from human eyes they hide
No real animal ***, this would increase the costs
They’re treated as a commodity, as just profit or loss
Consider circus animals or animals in the zoo
Slaves for your entertainment, suffer just to please you
In solitude they stay in their prison cage for months
With **** they are trained to perform unnatural stunts
Consider the tradition of *** just for fun
Where birds are shot out of the sky for the pleasure of one
A **** corpse in a showcase for one to see and boast
No matter pointless ** is ***** to the most
**** to animals leads to **** to human beings
A culture of ***** does not have eyes for seeing
An all inclusive world makes it better for every being
Animal liberation leads to human freeing
