“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.”
~Albert Schweitzer~
