The Bible tries to make humans not animals the whole time. I think it's a bit of a mistake.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Maybe one day the world will change, that we'll be in a luxurious position of being able to debate whether or not it's inherently wrong to eat animals, but the question doesn't matter right now.
The main point for me is moral; animals are sentient beings. I know for some this is a hard argument to accept, but we're not built to eat a lot of meat.
At any rate, we can see that they are given into our care, that we cannot just do whatever we want with them. Animals, too, are God's creatures.
The nature of human beings is to eat meat and fruits and vegetables, and therefore we have to kill animals. I don't have a problem with that. But it's a sacred moment. It's a gift of life.
Genesis 9 is where the animals went wild, and God gave them wildness. After the flood, that's when he made animals wild. Up until that time, everybody was vegetarian.
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
Man has done a lot to make himself dangerous and animals get the worst of all of it. But then, man too is an animal.
If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?
I always felt people should live with animals.
Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
