[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 75925478, member: 293637"] I almost clicked the wrong answer, because the way the question is phrased in the thread title and the question in your poll are opposite. But yes, it is morally wrong to hunt and kill an elephant for sport. I don't believe hunting is inherently immoral--it's how our species has gotten food, clothing, and tools for hundreds of thousands of years. From a Christian perspective, killing an endangered animal "for fun" is a grotesque abuse of mankind's God-given stewardship of the earth. Animal abuse is explicitly condemned in the Christian religion as a sin. Under God's provisions for ancient Israel, fair and just treatment of animals was to be expected of God's people. "[I]Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.[/I]" - Proverbs 12:10 "[I]If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying down under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.[/I]" - Exodus 23:5 "[I]You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain.[/I]" - Deuteronomy 25:4 -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
