- Christianity and Animals
- The bible suggests that animals were created for the use of mankind
- Some Christians say that animals don't have souls, so God created us superior to them
- Animals were never given the breathe of life (Adam was)
- So some Christians say that animals are here for us to use
- Teachings say that we should treat animals with kindness
- But they can be used for our benefit
- As long as their suffering is considered
- But they can be used for our benefit
- Excessive money shouldn't be wasted on animals
- Especially as some human beings are suffering
- Some Christians say that everything is interdependent
- Meaning everything is dependent on everything...
- So our treatment of animals reflects on us
- Roman Catholic church says that the use of animals should be monitoured
- "In the light of ethical principles"
- More likely to tolerate things like animal experimentation
- If it will bring benefit to mankind
- Society of Friends (Quakers(
- Opposed to any ill treatment of animals
- Especially for our pleasure
- Don't like zoos, animal circuses, hunting
