wow. I find myself in a less familiar place...so this is what Praxeas' AMEN corner looks like!
The conventional wisdom of the 'hive mind' (shaped by voices being broadcasted to their receivers) does seem to be turning from "humans are precious" to "animals are precious and humans are bad".
btw...some folks really need to watch the bird kingdom hijack a nest, kick out the faithful mama-builder's eggs, and claim the new place as their own. 
In my understanding, cruelty executed upon any animal by a human is in opposition to God's character, but killing animals is not. So apparently there must be some way to get a conclusion that unbundles cruelty and killing (which to most is pretty cruel).
Is swating at a mosquito a horrific act involving a partial maming of something that God has put on the earth? How do we reconcile our thinking involving species that are below 'man' in God's creation?
Once we get animals up to human status, the stage is set to make God out as being a 'bad God' because he had his people bring perfectly good animals to an alter of sacrifice.
If it is possible, can we avoid the foolishness of 'COMPARING' deeds from the body of sin that is governering these lost souls and start understanding just how much of a love for violence and death is at work in the hearts of those with whom we share this global community.
Dogs are in the mix of God's purposes for the creatures that Adam had dominion over, but please consider that they are not given any endearing witness in the scriptures.
Does that justify cruelty,
NO! But we all need to be careful when a subtle thought is at work in our thinking....Coby's groupie had it coming to her and....pit bulls given the right upbringing would want to live happily with all other creatures.
3rd trimester abortions on demand
partial-birth abortions
dog-fighting
wife-beating
rapists
pediphyiles
theives
all will have their place in the righteous judgment based on what they gave occasion to remain within their hearts.
edit: post thought jumped to mind.
If 200 pit bulls had to die so that Mike Vick would come to repentance, is that acceptable? Is God glorified? How many bondservants of Jesus died during Saul's purge of the heretics?
