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 and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals and so to share the
blessings of the merciful.
--Albert Schweitzer
