The book of Jonah shows that G-d cares about Gentiles..... even badly behaving Gentiles.... and also cares about cattle. Jonah 4:10 "Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?" Are massive farms like this the one shown in the footage ethical? I get the impression that these farms are simply too big....... big business has gone off track..... and a shift sure seems to be coming. Animal welfare group documents calf abuse at iconic Fair Oaks Farms, sparking investigation
I think that it does ...... which is why I personally think that our modern massive dairy agribusiness that rapidly separates calves from their mother is highly unethical. https://www.near-death.com/experiences/with-pets.html
So since you think god cares about cattle and you think that the modern dairy agribusiness is highly cruel to cattle why do you think god allows it to happen?
On one level G-d is producing eight billion reality films starring all of us...... G-d is watching to see what you and I and the rest of us will do about this....
We were given dominion over the animals but are not allowed to mistreat them. That is wrong. Basic humanity should tell you its wrong even without religion being a factor.
Oh darn. You mean questioning the sky fairy is misusing my free will. Guess you don't actually understand what free will means.
Truly well said Spooky! I just opened an e-mail and I am tending to think that the author of this petition is probably onto something important........ I personally lean rather "conservative" on a lot of issues but I really do tend to think that Green Party Leader Ms. Elizabeth May may well be closer to a big truth than we conservative Christians tend to be when it comes to the issue of banning the captivity of whales and dolphins?????
No..... I questioned Messiah Yeshua - Jesus perhaps with more anger and vehemence than you have probably done ........... There is a saying that the difference between HIGH EXPECTATIONS with a LOW PERCEPTION of our immediate reality...... can be ANGER! I had off the scale expectations for Messiah Yeshua - Jesus and what he accomplished so yes.... by 1990 I was becoming disappointed and angry with him and with the Christian Bible. Could the Christian gospel be much worse news?
Probably have cover to cover many more times than you have. But you can only read a bad work of fiction so many times before you lose interest. And most of the bible references to animals that I remember are more about how to manage your animals to ensure your own prosperity and increase in your cattle than anything actually having to do with creulity to animals.
That is a good point.... .there are not as many statements like the following as I would like to see in scripture.... Proverbs 12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
But it might........ it does open the door to that possibility. https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/num/22/5/s_139005 Num 22:32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
