Jenny Moxham

Jenny Moxham has been a vegetarian since 1977 and a vegan since 1979. She became converted' to vegetarianism after being saddened to see a truck load of cattle bound for slaughter and shortly afterwards, discovering that meat wasn't required for a healthy diet. She tries to alleviate animal suffering whenever and wherever she can and writes lots of letters to the newspapers on issues concerning animal exploitation/cruelty and vegetarianism. She has put up library displays, taken humane education kits to local schools, attended demonstrations, designed animal-friendly Christmas cards, organized a campaign to have councils stop celebrating with fireworks and worked on on getting compassion for animals into the schools and churches in her area. Her first poem was written after walking down the street one Spring day and rejoicing in the beauty all around her... and then realizing that millions of incarcerated factory- farmed animals will never know a Spring. She went home and wrote, They Will Never Know A Spring. After that, various situations/events inspired her to write further poems. Her song, A VOICE FOR THE ANIMALS won the Animal Liberation National Animal Rights Song competition in 2000 and her poems have been published in various magazines and newspapers.

25 Inspirational Animal Poems

I ONLY SAW HER FOR AN INSTANT

I only saw her for an instant

As the cattle truck sped by

But that fleeting brief encounter

Was enough to make me cry.

What struck me was her dignity

So regal! Head held high,

And I cried because I knew the way

Too soon, she'd surely die.

She looked every inch a lady

So deserving of respect.

The brutal bloody fate in store

I prayed she'd not suspect.

She'd never harmed a living soul

Yet hands unfit to touch her,

Would soon transform her
