Cruelty to dogs and cats

While I was searching for something else I "stumbled" onto this in Psalms 36;

Psa 36:5  Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Psa 36:6  Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest3467 man and beast.
 
Psa 36:7  How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

 
H3467
ישׁע
yâsha‛
yaw-shah'
A primitive root; properly to be open, wide or free, that is, (by implication) to be safe; causatively to free or succor: -  X at all, avenging, defend, deliver (-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save (-iour), get victory.

His Peace to you,

Ecclesiastes 3:18-22

18: I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts.
19: For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity.
20: All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21: Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down to the earth?
22: So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should enjoy his work, for that is his lot; who can bring him to see what will be after him?

God's Peace.
Josh

Nancy,

I agree with you. The way some people treat their animals--and children--makes me sick. I can't help it, but I find it easier to love animals than people in general. (I might get trashed for saying that, but it will just prove my point.)

Also, I believe animals have more sense and are more civilized than some people. Animals kill to survive--to feed themselves and their young, or if they think their babies are in danger. People kill just for the thrill of it.

Hi Sandy,

I am a animal lover and have had many pets that I have loved dearly.
But I see another side to what you say in your statement;


--- Quote --- Animals kill to survive--to feed themselves and their young, or if they think their babies are in danger.
--- End quote ---

I have been a ardent viewer of animal programs all my life, and there is a reason they are called  beasts.
Lions and hyena are total enemies and I have seen them fight and kill one another just because they are competitors in the same territory.
Domesticated dogs that have gone wild and form packs are terrors and will kill just about anything they can.
The elephants that have attacked their keepers, maybe they were abused, and that is a shame.
I have seen chimpanzees and gorillas attack others in their group viciously for dominance, it's a terrible thing to watch.
Bear attacks, what a horrible way to go.

I guess I really put a damper on this thread, but what I saying is that animals are not all lovable pets.
I'm just trying to point out there is a good reason God refers to our carnal nature as a 'beast.'

mercy, peace, and love
Kat
