I came across a great article today:
http://thefederalist.com/2016/08/19/the-plight-of-egg-laying-chickens-illustrates-whats-wrong-with-factory-farms/
So many Christians worry about being "kind"
being "holy" and "respectful"
and they forgot about God's creation and animals
Please read the entire article and these quotes:
“Christians
and conservatives should contemplate their participation in a food system that
undermines their understanding of the reality and nature of our world.”
We
Have a Responsibility to Care for Creation
“Christian
tradition establishes man’s preeminence of the created order. Formed from the
dust of the ground, man’s oldest ancestor was made imago dei. God
blessed the universe and its contents, and gave them to man as gifts. As the
beneficiaries of these gifts, God instructed man to be fruitful, multiply,
replenish the earth, and subdue it. He was called to exercise dominion over
creation and faithfully steward its fruits.
In light of this
dominion mandate found in the book of Genesis, consuming animal products is
certainly within man’s prerogative. However, subjugating farm animals to the
whims and will of industrial man is an abdication of man’s responsibility to
the Creator. The grotesque images found on the factory farm do not reflect
faithful stewardship of the created order. These images, instead, reflect
selfish domination.”
Remember, there is a Christian Vegetarian Association!
