The real meaning of Dominion: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

Service to animals - not domination.

Flesh isn't a requirement to be a creation of God. A creature is any part of the creation that has life.

The word creature in Genesis 9:10 which is clearly in reference to animals, means "a soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion". It is never once used for plants.

God has given man all parts of that creation as food. Animals as well as plants. Where did He ever repeal that?

He hasn't, but if you take the Bible's LARGER MESSAGE of compassion and mercy, there is a very strong case for why, in 2015, Christians should go vegan, if not for the animals at least for the world's starving humans, who could be fed with all the grains that we currently feed to livestock.

God should really consider Himself lucky to have you voice His attitudes, since you evidently think He is incapable of doing so Himself. Apparently, He isn't able to repeal His own words without your help.

You have to consider the time and place in which the Bible was written. Thy didn't have concepts like factory farming, third world hunger, ecology, civil rights, women's rights etc. Not long ago, people used the Bible to justify slavery and the oppression of women just like you are doing now with animals.
