 An Anglican Prayer For Animals
 Let me entreat
thee, O Christian reader,
By all that is
good and kind and just;
Let me entreat
three for God's sake,
For Christ's
sake, for man's sake,
For the sake of
animals--
Yea and for
thine own sake.
Make it your
business, esteem it your duty,
Believe it to be
the ground of your hope
And know it is
that which the Lord
Doeth require of
thee: To do justly, to love mercy
And to
walk humbly with thy God.
See that no
animal of any kind,
Whether
entrusted to thy care,
Or coming across
thy path,
Suffer through
thy neglect or abuse.
Let no help of
profit,
No compliance
with custom,
No fear of
ridicule of the world,
Ever tempt thee
to the least act of cruelty
Or injustice to
any creature whatsoever.
Blessed are the
merciful
For they shall
obtain mercy.
