Christian responsibility towards God's creatures - His animals
Our treatment and views of God's creatures reflect and affect our relationship with God. Since we have been commissioned by God to be their stewards, our silence and neglect of the tens of billions of animals who suffer every day for our greediness, is offensive to God. We will be held accountable someday for every creature as Hebrews 4:13 says. As His children made in His image, we don't radiate God's character of compassion for all of God's creatures. This is an ethical and moral issue, yet we don't want to acknowledge it and speak out for reasons which are worldly (money)?
