Praying the News: For the Safety and Well-Being of Rhinos

By Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

The rhino is being hunted into extinction and could disappear forever unless we act now. Statistics show 440 rhinos were brutally killed last year in South Africa by poachers seeking their horns, and more than 100 have already been killed this year.

A Litany for Animal Protection
by Andrew Linzey

One For animals neglected and ill-treated
All Give us new hearts, O God.

One For animals hunted to death
All Give us new hearts, O God …

O God
give us new hearts
that we may feel again
the suffering of our
fellow creatures;

deliver us
from ourselves
and the evil
we inflict
on the animal world.

(a pause for reflection)

One From our denigration of animals
All Free us, O Lord.

One From thinking of animals as things
All Free us, O Lord.

One From our indifference to cruelty
All Free us, O Lord.

One From our systematic exploitation of animals
All Free us, O Lord.

One From treating animals as machines
All Free us, O Lord.

One From our abdication of responsibility
All Free us, O Lord.

One From our spiritual blindness
All Free us, O Lord.

One From our shrunken sensibilities
All Free us, O Lord.

One From our hardness of heart
All Free us, O Lord.

– Joe Bob Briggs, “We Are the Weird”

Cat’s motto: “No matter what you’ve done wrong, always try to make it look as if the dog did it.”

Everyone knows cats are on a higher level of existence. These silly humans are just too big-headed to admit their inferiority.

“Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.”
