Hear our humble prayer, O God,
For our friends, the animals.
Especially for animals who are suffering,
For any that are hunted or lost or deserted,
Or frightened or hungry, for all that
Must be put to death, we entreat for
Them all Thy mercy and pity. And for
Those who deal with them, we ask a
Heart of compassion, gentle and kindly words,
Make us true friends of the animals and
So to share the blessing of the merciful.Albert Schweitzer.
