"Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals) is our first duty to them,
but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service
to them whenever they require it. If you have men who will exclude any of God's
creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal
likewise with their fellow men."
Saint Francis of Assisi
