| QUOTATION: | Hear our prayer O Lord … for animals that are overworked, underfed and cruelly treated; for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death…. and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. |
