1 | Should we sell domestic pets? | 2 Sam 12:3 | Mr. Pony Tail | 191475 | ||
Should we sell domestic pets? My mother raised us the way her grandmother raised her i.e., "never bring the price of an animal into your home". My sister and I raise chihuahuas and give them away. A friend of mine asked me where to look in the Bible to support our belief. | ||||||
2 | Should we sell domestic pets? | 2 Sam 12:3 | rabban | 191476 | ||
I must confess I know of nowhere in Scripture that forbids the selling of animals raised at home. It sounds like an 'old wives tale', although with some truth in it. Indeed many Jews raised animals in their home on the ground floor, and would then sell their offspring. The possible objection would be that it is ungrateful and is to treat a 'friend' too lightly. (Perhaps the 'little ewe lamb' of Nathan is in mind? - 2 Sam 12.3) But my feeling is that people are far more likely to care for their pets properly if they have to pay for them, rather than if they are given them. Why not pass them on lovingly in return for a suitable donation to charity? And you could then give the money to the needy and everyone would benefit :)))). (Just a thought. You are of course quite entitled to give them away :-)))) ). |
