Friederike Kempner: Gegen die Vivisektion

Friederike Kempner

(1836-1904)

 

Gegen die Vivisektion

Ein unbekanntes Band der Seelen kettet
Den Menschen an das arme Tier,
Das Tier hat seinen Willen – ergo Seele –
Wenn auch ‘ne kleinere als wir.

Ein Mensch, mißbrauchend die Gewalt und Stärke,
Ein lebend Herz zerreißend – wie?
Wer gleicht denn hier dem wilden Tiere,
Ist es der Mensch, ist es das Vieh?
