CARING FOR ANIMALS
Pr 12:10 A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
This is applicable to domesticated animals, whether they be pets or otherwise. One way to perceive a person's humility and level of kindness is how they treat their animals. Wicked people treat their animals with cruelty, and yet they reckon themselves kind. If a person considers himself righteous, then he should consider and meet the needs of his animal. Domesticated animals are in a position of humility - lower than that of any human. Thus not only can we learn to discern one's humility by how they treat animals, but we can also learn humility from animals. (Want to have a companion who is humble, faithful, and always glad to have you around? Get a dog!)
By the way, only two creatures were allowed into the Most Holy Place - the high priest, and the blood of a domestic animal. So animals are worth respecting
