The artist who made people cry with her animal comics has returned with another tearjerker. Jenny Jinya, a comic artist, has developed a large following. She has 163K Facebook followers and 203K Instagram followers, thanks primarily to her Good Boy and Black Cat comic strips.
Jenny not only crafts engaging characters and exciting circumstances, but her heartbreaking stories also address real-world issues plaguing both domesticated and wild animals in today’s society. Abandonment. Habitat destruction and pollution. These are only a few of the issues that the artist has already handled.
Jenny’s latest horrific cartoon is about animal exploitation in circuses; she imagined the life of a lion in a facility where the jungle king is forced to perform, and she did an excellent job of showing how terrible people can be to the animals with which we share the earth.

Jenny stated that not all circuses are bad. “Now, instead of wild animals, the audience is inspired by massive holograms.” Or even circus performances without animals, relying exclusively on human acrobats and clowns. “I hope this trend spreads,” she said.
Despite the fact that fresh developments are being made in the industry, many places continue to host animal shows. And the show is causing more harm than just to the wildlife. According to Freedom for Animals, a charity dedicated to eradicating the use of animals in entertainment, touring circuses can travel thousands of miles every year, bringing animals from one location to another in transporters and cages on the back of beast waggon trucks.
They spend the most of the year in temporary housing because they relocate every week. According to the organization’s website, the animals may be confined in their trip cages for hours, if not days, with only brief respite in an exercise cage, rehearsing, or performing.”It is impossible for a travelling menagerie to provide circus animals with the facilities they need.”
Jenny chose a lion for this cruel joke, but she claims to represent all animals harmed in order to sell tickets. “It wouldn’t have mattered if I displayed a lion or an elephant. Wild animals are designed to be free; they should lay in the sun, hunt, and look after their families.”They should not leap through hoops, since If they do not comply, they will face consequences,” the artist explained.
The artist’s intention is to raise awareness about animal rights and those who are unable to speak up for themselves, but regrettably, some people receive a very different message. This is partly because publishers and individuals have recklessly reshared her content. “The issue is that many people only share certain pages of my comics, not the complete plot. They also commonly skip the final page, where I summarise the issue and provide links to more information or donations. Some people see this and do not get the message. They believe I just love depicting tortured creatures.
As a result, Jenny began receiving hate mail. “They are ignorant that I am attempting to educate and solicit money. But it’s not their fault, and I can generally tell them what my comics are about. If you want to support the artist and the projects she’s working on, consider using Patreon. Jenny even saves 30% of her earnings to donate to various animal charities and shelters each month.
