The Animals' Savior

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry.
`God,' I said, `this is terrible! Why don't you do something?'
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
`I have done something,' He replied. `I created You.'
