- Abstract
- There is a legend to the effect that on the night before Christmas the dumb animals of man are given the power of speech. This is because some of these lowly animals were in the stables when on the first Christmas Eve our Lord was born in a manger. So for the sake of this belief let us give a kind thought to our domestic animals this month. Ever since animals have been captured and domesticated to help man, they have been subjected to other forms of torment even worse than what they encountered from their former enemies when they were wild. In their domesticated state they have no way of defending themselves against the cruelties of man. Man may be either a friend or an enemy of animals.
