One
God of justice and peace
you hear the cries
of all your creatures:

hear our prayer for
all our fellow creatures that are;

imprisoned in zoos

All
and let your mercy be upon them;

One
transported overseas

All
and let your mercy be upon them;

One
hunted for sport

All
and let your mercy be upon them;

One
exploited in circuses

All
and let your mercy be upon them;

One
dissected in schools

All
and let your mercy be upon them;

One
abused in laboratories

All
and let your mercy be upon them;

One
forced into factory farms

All
and let your mercy be upon them;

One
butchered in abattoirs

All
and let your mercy be upon them;

One
trapped for their fur

All
and let your mercy be upon them.
