if God gave man dominion over animals as in genesis...why do peta & others love animals more than humans?

Question

that being said...why is it okay to trap animals or shoot them for sport...yet people are prosecuted daily for cruelty to animals for neglect?

Answer 1

animals are always looked down as being inferior since forever .the people who hunt have a "hunters licence" if they didn't they would be arrested if they killed a animal with a weapon. ima vegetarian and Peta isn't the best animal activist organisation. i view all living things as equal but it seams that some are more equal that others ,this question would be unanswerable to me without conflicting with religion.

Answer 2

I dont get where God fits in on this, but I will give it a go.

I am an active hunter, my wife is an animal rights activist. Can you imagine Thanksgiving at my household?

Over the years we arrived at agreements that ensured our continuous prosperity as a family. I hunt, she ******s about it. lol

Though I kill animals for food, frequently, I also do something else. My family works with an organization known as 2nd Chance Rescue. Personally, we brought over 40 dogs into our home, trained them, and found wonderful homes for each of them all in the course of the last 14 months. Our organization runs purely as a non profit, mostly based on donations. We dont have a 13 million annual budget like those at peta. We run this out of all our backyards using most of our own money.

We have saved a hell of a lot more dogs than peta has. None of us consider ourselves hero's or activists, we just quietly get the job done. We don't put the animals above humans and we sure a shi* dont neglect them. Most of the folks in our organization are hunters themselves.

That being said. I don't mind ethical trapping and hunting for food sources. I am a damn fine tracker, so I dare someone to kill an animal and leave it laying for "sport".

I am the guy that has to go pickup neglected and abused animals. I am not nice about it. If I find you abusing them I have many legal ways of solving the problem, but mostly I enjoy intimidating the shi* out of people who do it. It doesn't make me any greater a human, but it sure does make me feel better.

Enough rambling....someone elses turn.

Answer 3

Abusing and neglecting animals that depend on you for food, shelter, and affection is cruel and inhumane. People who will abuse their pets and livestock will abuse people given a chance.

As for PETA, they are a bunch of moronic vegans with bad breath, and bad complexions. They value animals above humans.

I do not believe in abusing animals, whether wild or domesticated. I also find canned hunts to be repulsive, and about as exciting as going into the barn and shooting a milk cow.

Real fair chase hunting is altogether different. Animals have better senses of smell, hearing and vision than humans have. A true sport hunter hunts animals ethically and does not use illegal methods, such as baiting or jacklighting to make their kill. A true hunter will pass up a shot that has a high probability of wounding an animal. The true ideal of hunting is to pit one's wits agains the superior senses of a game animal, get close to it and cleanly kill it with a single shot.

And hunting is about the hunt more than the kill. I've known a man to spend tens of thousands of dollars to go on an elephant hunt. He walked twenty or thirty miles a day for three weeks seeking a good trophy. He ran more miles avoiding young bulls with small tusks, and even more miles dodging tuskless old cows with bad attitudes. After walking a couple of hundred miles through nearly impenetrable thorn bushes, and across hot, dry dusty plains, being half eaten by tsetse flies, and almost getting bitten by a cobra, he came home without any ivory. Was he disappointed? No, he had the time of his life! He had hunted hard and pitted himself against the greatest trophy available, in the company of good companions, and communed with nature is some of the last wild country. And his dream of taking a huge bull elephant still lives.

How many PETA members would spend that much money to ensure wildlife have habitat to survive? Not very many!

This is one thing you'll never hear coming from PeTA and the other animal rights people. Animals such as wolves lions tigers and bears they all kill other animals for food I'd love to hear what PeTA and the other animal rights people have to say about that. About 2 years ago in NC PeTA 2 PeTA workers was caught throwing dead kittens and dead puppies that they themselves killed! I eat meat I support the right to hunt fish and I support the right to wear fur coats. We kill something everyday it doesn't matter if we're walking and step on something and thousands of animals die daily that crosses into the path on an on coming car.

Answer 5

I've found that PETA people have some sort of psychological disorder that includes a great deal of GUILT and misplaced or misdirected compassion.

It's the same way that Liberals in America are guilty for being part of the greatest nation and society ever....they hate America and want us to lose the war and want us to give up all our wealth to third-world beggars.

For PETAs, humans are EVIL and all nature is GOOD. They ignore the fact that humans are an intrinsic part of nature.

For all their caring and compassion, I have yet to find an animal rights psycho who actually gives a crap about the elderly, poor, orphans, etc in their own community, because humans are bad of course. They are just masochist.

Answer 6

PeTA fanatics have tried to say the Bible and Jewish and Moslem religions support their neutotic ideas. What outrageous lies! In Genesis, God himself makes garments of skins for Adam & Eve. There is a recognized neurosis tht apothesizes other animals. PeTA has a group neurosis.

Answer 7

Remember human had hardened their heart and rebel to God. I think animals also rebels so we need weapons to tame them. Probably, this is just my guess, if everybody obeys God's rule (which is quite impossible, cuz we're sinners and there's a hugeee gap between the Holiness and us) then I think even lions/tigers all that will act gentle toward us. Oh, I forgot. Yes. God CAN tame them if He wants. (remember the story of Daniel in lions cage?) :D

Answer 8

peta and other animal lovers started out trying to do a good thing, then theygot a bunch of radical, extremeists in their mists and became freaks. and it is never,NEVER, ok to kill anything just for sport. talk to the majority of hunters you know or on here and you will see most also eat what they kill and you will find that hunting is notabout the killing,but about many,many other things....read dj and doc hudson answers, they are pretty much on the money as well.

Answer 9

Killing animals for purpose and humanely is right. Killing or torturing animals for sport is wrong on so many levels.

Peta people believe the world is void of food chains and human progress, and that we all can life like fairies skipping through the wood and eat bark and dew. They believe these things, I assume, because their parents dropped them on their heads, causing them to lose all sense of reason.

We are keepers of earth, not destroyers. Its a bountiful planet, and full of tasty useful creatures. Not animals put her for our sport, and hateful release. There is a fine balance.

Answer 10

good question. i think that some people just have a natural love for animals. peta is an extreme example & even some animal lovers don't agree with their tactics.

it's hard to answer part II of that question, but you make a good point.

Answer 11

This is a misplaced and frustrated maternal instinct.

However, it is not ok to trap animals or shoot them for sport. The only two reasons to take an animals life are: 1) To protect another life 3) for food
