Description
Several years ago, I happened upon an amazing book called Poetry’s Plea for Animals: An Anthology of Justice and Mercy for our Kindred in Fur and Feathers. It’s a collection of poems about animals and about the plight of animals who are at the mercy of humans. It published in 1927 and contains such chapters as "Burden-Bearers," "In War Service," "The Last and Least of Things," "Braves of the Hunt," "In Captivity," and "Performing Animals." As subjects of these poems, animals are exalted in ways they have yet to witness off the page. These poems serve as touchstones that link us to the early pioneers of the animal protection movement, and they are the inspiration that can keep us moving forward.

Response to: "If you were on a desert island and were starving, I bet you'd eat meat then; I eat only meat from humanely raised animals"; and other statements based on hypothetical scenarios and myths.: Our excuses for eating animals have more to do with how we want to perceive ourselves and less to do with what is actually true. by Food for Thought: The Joys and Benefits of Living Vegan
