What is the bibles view on animal abuse? I am writing a paper on it. I am against animal abuse and when ever I try to support it biblically my teacher shoots holes in the verses I use. Anyone know some good verses that support the humane treatment of animals and creation?
Heres some stuff I wrote and the teachers response in italics.
Luke 13:32 shows that animals can possess fear and go to heaven. "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom."
No; the verse refers to Christ;s followers as sheep
Ecclesiastes 3:19-20- Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath [a] ; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.
This not true, but the perspective of man "under the sun"
Proverbs 15:17- 17 Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened calf with hatred.
