World Animal Day -Oct. 4

[catmandu]

We so called humane humans have a huge debt to the many Animals who are now extinct , or are exploited and badly treated.
I pray that we treat our Animals , and for that matter the small and waek among us with more charity and stop letting greed rule our actions.

A happy World Animal Day to all the critters of every species who make up our very special family here at Pet Talk, and may all the animals all around the world enjoy special blessings today!

I'm bumping up this old thread because the church right by my house had a service yesterday that was aimed at everyone - adults, children, the elderly and people were invited to bring their animals for a blessing. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals and the environment, so the focus of the service was about caring for all of God's creation. last weekend they had a big yard sale in their parking lot and the weather was perfect. The article in the newspaper talked about ways of being a caretaker to the world around you - recycling, volunteering for whatever organizations appeal to you, using up what you have instead of buying more, and helping others to do the same.

So ... beloved Pet Talk dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and all other creatures -- Here's to you! Phred and Gini, please give my Cassie and all the other RB pets some big hugs for me.
