At times like this, I find the following prayer, by Albert Schweitzer, both appropriate and comforting:
"Hear our humble prayer, O God,
for our friends the animals,
especially for animals who are suffering;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them
we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals
and so to share the blessings of the merciful."
Sending energy to those abandoned pets, and hoping that rescue workers to tend to their needs -- yes, even if it comes down to euthanizing them to end their suffering -- will soon be able to reach them.
