Raising awareness of animal suffering

Sir, - I applaud Mrs J. Schofield's suggestion (2 August) that practising Christians should voice more strongly their belief that God created all living things and her request for an "Environment Sunday" in the Church's year.

In the light, however, of the continual suffering of animals from day to day in our laboratories, in the slaughterhouses, factory farms and even in some private homes, I would say that they should be remembered on a daily basis and also at week-day and Sunday church services. One isolated "Environment Sunday" is not sufficient.

The Christian Consultative Council for the Welfare of Animals has compiled a booklet of Intercessions, Hymns and Prayers which outlines intercessions for daily use.
