Bible Question (short): Mans appropriate relation to animals? |
Question (full): Are there any references in the bible concerning man and appropriate relationships with animals? I have two brothers and one sister that keep cats and dogs living in their homes which create, for me, a problem with visiting them as I find the idea of cohabitation with animals in the home repulsive because of all the shed hair, fleas, and nasty excretions being left on rugs. In terms of groups like PETA I think they are Idol Worshippers of beasts. When I see someone give a tongue kiss to a dog I consider it repulsive beastiality. Are there any references to people keeping pets in the Old or New Testament that justifies the way people treat animals, nowadays? MWLaine |
