"Animals are God's
creatures, not human property, nor utilities, nor resources, nor
commodities, but precious beings in God's sight. ...Christians whose eyes
are fixed on the awfulness of crucifixion are in a special position to
understand the awfulness of innocent suffering. The Cross of Christ is
God's absolute identification with the weak, the powerless, and the
vulnerable, but most of all with unprotected, undefended, innocent
suffering."
