#outcasts

Our Father who art in nature, who has given the gift of survival to the coyote, the common brown rat, the English sparrow, the house fly and the moth, must have a great and overwhelming love for no-goods and blots-on-the-town and bums, and Mack and the boys. Virtues and graces and laziness and zest. Our Father who art in nature. ↗

Those who actually hate animals to the point of being cruel to them are outcasts to the rest of us, no matter where in the world they live. ↗
