Pentru desfiguratii ce asteapta cu nerabdare masacrarea cainilor din Bucuresti ca pe o "minune" (si se pretind crestini)
Sf. Maxim Marturisitorul:
"Man is
not a being isolated from the rest of creation; by his very nature he is
bound up with the whole of the universe... In his way to union with
God, man in no way leaves creatures aside, but gathers together in his
love the whole cosmos disordered by sin, that it may be transfigured by
grace."
Sf. Vasile cel Mare:
"The
earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof. O God, enlarge within us
the sense of fellowship with all living things, our brothers the animals
to whom Thou gavest the earth as their home in common with us. We
remember with shame
that in the past we have exercised the high dominion of man with
ruthless cruelty so that the voice of the earth, which should have gone
up to Thee in song has been a groan of travail. May we realize that they
live not for us alone, but for themselves and for Thee and that they
love the sweetness of life even as we, and serve Thee better in their
place than we in ours."
