‘A Religious Proclamation for Animal Compassion’ — Join us, by signing on today!
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007we recognize the unique opportunity we have been given
to effect profound and lasting change for the sake of animals.
As stewards of Godís creation, we accept and
embrace our duty, responsibility, and moral obligation to
both protect the lives of animals and assure
that those lives reflect the respect and dignity they are to be
afforded as part of Godís creation.
We therefore invite all people of faith,
under the guidance of their various faith traditions,
to take up the mantle of compassion towards all of life
and recognize that, as human beings,
we are only part of Godís creation
and cannot presume to be all that matters in it.
Indeed, because animals are an inextricable part
of our social and natural environments,
we therefore affirm that any lasting effort for change on any level
will only be complete insofar as it pays attention to and
advocates for animals and their well-being.
Finally, we call upon religious leaders of all traditions
to honor and encourage those in their faith communities
who make compassionate food and clothing choices
and who work for the benefit of animals.”
