    Imagine thinking “Our god created this glorious, beautiful creature, lets kill all of them”

      I think they bastardized the Bible’s permission to eat meat into ownership of all animals to do what conveniences them.

      After the Noah’s ark story, God says “God tells Noah, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things”

      This meant to consume, but human greed never seems to allow us to consume sustainability. We have a very religious babysitter who feels strongly that animals have no souls and therefore are of lesser importance than humans. As though the whole world was laid out for us like a playmat, and when we destroy it God will just get us more toys.

      Well, same god that killed all but a handful of humanity and all but two of each animal, so… Don’t make appeals to their mercy or empathy, they have none.

        I mean they’re not building a giant boat to put the whales in, either. Seems like they’re OK with killing them all this time.
