A tribute to Benjamin Zephaniah

My letter published in the Guardian. A tribute to a great poet, animal rights activist an advocate for justice.

The passing away of Benjamin Zephaniah is a great loss to the vegan and animal rights movement. He campaigned for a better world in which humans would extend their compassion to other living beings. His ideas are now being taken seriously, with a recognition that animals are sentient beings and should be granted fundamental rights.
