Francis Of Assisi quotes
Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received - only what you have given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. 
All things of creation are children of the Father and thus brothers of man... God wants us to help animals if they need help. Every creature in distress has the same right to be protected. 
Not to hurt our humble brethren 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. 
God requires that we assist the animals, when they need our help. Each being (human or creature) has the same right of protection.
