Story behind the song
Regina was a rescue dog living in Ribercan shelter in the town of Carcaixent Valencia, Spain. On 29th May 2008, thugs broke into the shelter and Regina was sexually abused, tortured and killed during the attack on the premises. Other dogs were frightened away from the shelter when their quarters were badly damaged but Regina was petrified and too timid to fight back. We hope this song will help to alert people to the distressing problem of animal cruelty in Spain. This crime has not been investigated by the Spanish police or authorities. Laws must be implemented in Spain to protect stray dogs like Regina from criminals who see them as easy targets. Animal abuse leads to human abuse. The Bright Eyes Society has offered a financial reward to help catch the person or persons responsible for this terrible crime against an innocent creature. Download proceeds from this song will be sent to Bright Eyes to increase the reward and one day may there be for justice for Regina.

Lyrics
'Regina' Regina, how we gonna come to terms with what they did to you? Regina, what kinda world is this, look what they did to you We're broken up, we're living through this holocaust There's nowhere safe not even for a shelter dog Regina, Regina... They don't see the beauty in your trusting eyes They never knew your story when they made you cry They broke you down to nothing for a moment's thrill Those bastards all they wanted was a thing to kill And I would hurt them back if only I could spare your life I'd go against my principles to put this right I'd break my heart in two if only life was fair Justice For Regina, we got to make them care. Regina, homeless in a world that has so little love Regina, stolen from good people who picked you up There's nothing we can do or say what's done is done But in your name we fight to save the innocent Regina, Regina... They don't see the beauty in your trusting eyes They never knew your story when they made you cry They broke you down to nothing for a moment's thrill Those bastards all they wanted was a thing to kill And I would hurt them back if only I could spare your life I'd go against my principles to put this right I'd break my heart in two if only life was fair Justice For Regina, we gotta make them care. And I would hurt them back if only I could spare your life I'd go against my principles to put this right I'd break my heart in two if only life was fair Justice For Regina, we gotta make them care. Oh, why don't people care? Why don't people care? La justicia para Regina La justicia para Regina Regina, Regina, Regina, Regina... Spanish translation of lyrics ~ Justicia para Regina Regina, como explicar lo que te hicieron? Regina, que clase de mundo es esto, mira lo que te han hecho. Estamos rotos, estamos viviendo en este holocausto No hay un sitio seguro, ni siquiera para un perro noble... Regina, Regina Ellos no ven la belleza de tus confiados ojos, Ellos nunca supieron tu historia mientras te hacían llorar Ellos rompieron tu mundo por entretenerse un rato Esos bastardos tan solo querían algo que matar Y quisiera dañarlos a ellos si eso te devolviera la vida Seguiré mis principios para arreglar todo esto Partiría mi corazón en dos porque la vida fuese justa Justicia para Regina, tenemos que hacer que paguen por ello. Regina, sin casa en un mundo con muy poco amor Regina, robada de la gente buena que te recogió No hay nada que podamos hacer o decir, lo hecho, hecho está Pero en tu nombre lucharemos para salvar al inocente Regina, Regina... Ellos no ven la belleza de tus confiados ojos, Ellos nunca supieron tu historia mientras te hacían llorar Ellos rompieron tu mundo por entretenerse un rato Esos bastardos tan solo querían algo que matar Y quisiera dañarlos a ellos si eso te devolviera la vida Seguiré mis principios para arreglar todo esto Partiría mi corazón en dos porque la vida fuese justa Justicia para Regina, tenemos que hacer que paguen por ello. Y quisiera dañarlos a ellos si eso te devolviera la vida Seguiré mis principios para arreglar todo esto Partiría mi corazón en dos porque la vida fuese justa Justicia para Regina, tenemos que hacer que paguen por ello. Oh, por qué a la gente no le importa? Por qué a la gente no le importa? La justicia para Regina La justicia para Regina Regina, Regina, Regina, Regina... © Maria Daines/Paul Killington 21.06.08

Maria, I'm so proud to have you in my network. You have given a voice to a sentient being who cannot vocally tell us its pain, except through its eyes. Wonderful, just wonderful...

A beautiful song for a beautiful cause... It's sad that even now in a hard economy, we're seeing people abandoning their pets... I can't believe the scope of the cruelty... God Bless you and Paul for reaching out in song - and what a professional sound you have ; )) A1 all the way Maria! Cheers, Bob

Yet another great song Maria, I find it very hard to listen to your animal songs as they are so sad...always makes me think of how I would feel if Maggie Moo was abused. Love from me and tail wags and licks from Maggs. Neil

You are a champion of a great cause, all living things must be respected cause they are part of all of us, they are part of nature's living. This song is great, your vocals are amazing, the emotions, the anger comes loud and clear, and I for one, think you're one of the best singers and songwriters I have ever heard. The music behind shows every bit of greatness as well, but the vocal goes beyond what the instruments can do, it delivers the pain in a way an instrument can never.
