The Animals` Domain?

What can repel that rampant malady:
fanatic savers of the wild, who`d grind
all men from earth`s unbroken ground;
but for the winged, finned, pawed they
chant their plea
with starving peoples` cries unheard. Behind
their thronged wild-fetish aims--avowal-bound,
hogtied, their judgment warped, their brains unsound--are snails, owls, panthers worshipped, men maligned!
"Human encroachment! Animals' domain!
"Dumb beasts," they sob, "are victims of mankind!"
But sapience can stem such entropy:
To save our earth from their frenetic bane--
to save our earth for human right--the sane
must not let die a dogged apathy!
