‘Pieces of my Heart’ by Jim Willis is a collection of poems, essays, opinions and articles which were inspired by his love of all nature and animals.
Jim Willis is an animal advocate. He treads where others fear to tread. He speaks up for the voiceless where others tremble at the repercussions. Jim is not afraid to make a stand for the unfairness that we Humans dole out on our non-human companions.
The book is absolutely inspirational. Jim is a well-seasoned writer with a good sense of humour which he exploits in many of his articles, particularly in extracts from the ‘Basset Chronicles’ in which Alexis, his Basset hound, propounds her ideas and opinions. Her take on Christmas had me in hysterics: see page 69.
There are many subtle conversations and sub-texts which between the species which we humans would be well advised to listen in on and take note. How could we treat our non-human counterparts with any less respect than they deserve? All animals are sentient beings. They feel joy, pain, fear, love, misery, sorrow and grief – all the things that we experience. That they can’t voice their emotions in the way that we humans can is no reason for us to torture them in the name of research, or for sheer devilment.
I can’t speak highly enough of Jim’s book. It should be curriculum reading for children in all countries, in all schools throughout the world. Jim not only shows the way for animal treatment to be improved, but he actually gives helpful tips and website addresses in the appendix at the back of the book.
I urge you to hug your nearest cat, dog, hamster, rabbit, rat, snake, whatever pet graces your life and appreciate the fact that living with you makes them happy – and is beneficial to your health. When the animals are gone – and the way humans are carving up the rainforests and taking the habitat away from indigenous species - there will be nothing left for man and the world will be a very lonely place indeed.

Two cats are a conspiracy.
Three cats is an attempted takeover.
Four or more cats is a complete coup!"
