I agree with this. Who else but animals could mimic and foretell with their innocence the shed blood of Christ?
I have always understood Jesus was a vegetarian. Furthermore man can easily happily and more healthily live on vegetable legumes and fish ( and eggs and dairy etc if you so desire)
The GUT rots when it eats flesh of beasts. There is no question about it
Now I ain’t gonna argue that ribs steak chops and the rest don’t TASTE good.
Not do I think eating animals or not affects the environs (in the 1st world only ).
So in short. Didn’t Christ teach compassion for ALL beings, great and small? Speaking and dumb?
Methinks so
