Jungle Judge Justice is a tough call as poetry books go as the poems cover contemporary issues and historical and likely future abuse with a gimlet eye. The poems consider aspects of our world as a prison for animals much as it has been for many vulnerable people throughout our history such as women burned at the stake as witches along with their black cats. In that prison the poems do not shy away from tackling matters within our vision yet often avoided including badger culling, eating animals, fox hunting, ritual slaughter, slavery and vivisection.

Jungle Judge Justice is a tough call as poetry books go as the poems cover contemporary issues and historical and likely future abuse with a gimlet eye. The poems consider aspects of our world as a prison for animals much as it has been for many vulnerable people throughout our history such as women burned at the stake as witches along with their black cats. In that prison the poems do not shy away from tackling matters within our vision yet often avoided including badger culling, eating animals, fox hunting, ritual slaughter, slavery and vivisection. A somewhat unusual type of cattle-market, which might take some readers off-guard, is considered: it is a little known quasi-legal practice of men selling their unwanted property to the highest bidder. The 'cattle-market' practice was adopted by men to dispose of their unwanted goods: 'Bullying drunkard philandering husbands/Whose vainglory keeps their ego trip alive...': What Am I Bid. Jungle Judge Justice challenges ¿all aspects of animal rights from their perceptive perspective. ¿¿¿The analysis of the subjects is not for those faint of heart and mind. The poetry ranges from the A to Z of all aspects of animal abuse and every subject between in the vast abacus of our abuse. Each one is intended to be a fading shooting star still faintly visible to each naked soul. The poetry explores in story and verse a running river of anthropology to zoology including from abattoirs to zoos and why our environment is dying whilst our seas have the Blues. ¿¿¿There is the odd tinge of humour here and there throughout the text especially with 'Paulo the Pussyfooter' which is a tribute to my magnificent favourite feline forever friend whose nocturnal activities caused so much nightly concerned joy and unexpected gifts. Paulo spread such an innocent mixed message that exuded natural happiness for all who knew her, it was enough to want to petition for her penchant to be a real life cat-burglar to become strictly legal. ¿¿The roots and routes of racism and sexism and speciesism are considered from many angles in relation to justice and truth. Given the tyranny over people in our modern world, we are driven to face the 'Time-bomb Heart' of deluded humans towards all animals. The idea captivated within that poem of the killing hills by us over the animal kingdom leads to a Putinesque belief we can do whatever we wish whenever we wish to whosoever we wish: 'It's a beautiful day. Let's go out and murder truth.' All that Jungle Judge Justice asks of any reader is that they approach the poems with an open mind and a heart to match. No poem will forgive the faint-hearted yet might touch one who looks into the eyes of another animal and sees their own reflection. Each will be enough to exceed any reach into a dormant soul. Each will allow the reader to peer past our prejudicial prism to see the sophism yet grasp the pain of the echoed roar and rasp of speciesism.
