" BTW, THis is why the Bible says we have dominion OVER the animals.

This is also what the bible says about animals:

"A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel."

Proverbs 12:10

As to "this is why the bible says we have dominion over the animals"-- Dominion over the animals/over all the earth was given in Genesis 1. (God happened to bless the animals there, also). It wasn't until after the fall that the shedding of blood would be required for the remission of sins. So butchering and killing animals was not originally part of the 'dominion' package.

Agreed, if you read all that I posted.
