Theme: The theme of this poem is that Humans are condescending towards other living creatures. Since we are at the top of the food chain and has the power to kill animals, we do so sometimes for money but sometimes for no reason at all.
Quotes: "of his frightened look, growing smaller and smaller"
This quote shows that animals are helpless in the face of humans. They can not defend themselves and are subject to our slaughters.
"We dug a deep pit and threw the dead calf into it"
This quote shows how heartless humans can be. The indifference tone shows that they cared little for the calf that they just killed - for the living sould that they just destroyed.
"Without movement, perfectly still in the cool pit"
This quote shows that just like that, a living creature was killed by humans, having no power to defend itself. Now it's nothing more than a dead body.
