Anti-Slavery Movements
Some people say
Animal liberators are not
Working in the interest of animals.
But I've never seen liberated animals
Protest by going back to their place
Of captivity.
But then again
I've never heard of any liberated slaves
Begging for more humiliation
Or voting for slavery.
Animals vote with their feet
Or their wings
Or their fins.
(Benjamin Zephiniah, Too Black, Too Strong, Bloodaxe Books, 2001)
