Bible Question: Please give more clearity on killing of animals for experimental purpose. I have to kill animals for drug development and I fear killing the same as of I am commiiting sin , what should I do?? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Rajeeb, You've asked this question before and have been given good answers. The only thing I can say further is that God loves each and everyone of His creatures. It hurts Him to see one suffer, yet He Himself used an animal to cover His greatest creation when they needed it, Gen.3:21. If the testing is done humanely and it is a needful thing - something to keep from poisoning a human, something to help make a human well in illness, something to help make more bountiful crops for poor countries, etc. - then we have to remember that God also gave the knowledge of the thing you're testing to a man to begin with...for the betterment of His greatest creation. And from there you'll just have to look to your own conscience. |
