“God loves and cares for creation and has the right to expect this loving care be replicated by humans. Creation exists, not for the glory of humanity, but for the glory of God. God has the right to see that earthly creatures are free to live according to their nature and without unnecessary abuse, exploitation, and pain, so that their lives can glorify their Creator.…[S]ince God values and cares for all creation, creation has a derived right to be valued and cared for by humans for God’s glory.” GodChristianityCreationAnimalsVegetarianism Book:Is God a Vegetarian?: Christianity, Vegetarianism, and Animal Rights Source: Is God a Vegetarian?: Christianity, Vegetarianism, and Animal Rights
“Humans do have authority over creation—but it is a delegated authority to care for animals as God would and not to destroy them. All life still belongs to the Creator of life, as it did the in the beginning.” LifeCareChristianityCreationVegetarianismDominion Book:Is God a Vegetarian?: Christianity, Vegetarianism, and Animal Rights Source: Is God a Vegetarian?: Christianity, Vegetarianism, and Animal Rights
