dog names justice
Even if this is the end of humankind, we dare not take away the chances some other life-form might have to succeed where we failed.

In the name of justice, if we must condemn and destroy ourselves, let us not condemn all life along with us! We are heavy enough with sins. If we must destroy, let us stop with destroying ourselves!
