%X In of the face of mass extinctions, this essay proposes that animals¡¯ praise of God is more than a metaphor but an actual event happening in real time without human mediation. To make the case, it explores the God-animal relationship attested in the Bible and contemporary theology, where animals¡¯ praise nests within the praise of all creation. The resulting insight gives support to an ecological ethic that aims to keep the song alive
