"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."
--Rev. Andrew Linzey
