Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Animal Justice is the debut extended play (EP) by the Welsh rock musician John Cale. It was released in September 1977 by Illegal Records. "Chickenshit" was Cale's response to his decapitation of a chicken during a gig in Croydon, South London on 24 April 1977. This prompted the vegetarian rhythm section of Mike Visceglia and Joe Stefko to walk off and leave Cale's band.

Recording

Animal Justice was recorded at Chalk Farm Studios in London, England. Two other songs were recorded during these sessions, "Jack the Ripper (In the Moulin Rouge)" and "Ton Ton Macoute", but were not released.[1]
