IS ANIMAL KILLING RIGHT?

It was Sir James Paul McCartney, an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and a former member of the Beatles who once said the following and I quote, “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.”

They trick the cat or dog into a sack and immediately tie it up, and then smash it on the wall or a solid rock. Some others use the long pestle of a wooden grinding mortar to hit the brain continuously until the cat or dog dies. Most of them kill cats for fun, while others kill cats and dogs for food. In the Ten Commandments given by god to Moses, it is written, thou shall not kill. It did not specify animals or human beings. Killing is killing.

In the book of genesis 9 verse 4, God instructed Noah, and animals with lively blood shall you not eat. Some would say god gave them dominion over all the animals in the land and sea, and over everything. Here is the definition of kill and the word dominion from the oxford dictionary of English.

Kill ''cause the death of (a person, animal, or other living thing)''

Dominion ''sovereign or control'' for example, the government has control over us, does it mean they should kill us and eat. The human body structure does not permit animal consumption.

Do your research, In the book of genesis, god gave instructions on what we as humans must eat, fruits, vegetables and even lord Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. This is confirmed in the book of Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14-16.

14"therefore the lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call his name Emmanuel. 15" he will eat curds and honey at the time he knows enough to refuse evil and choose good. 16" for before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.…

For those of you who wish to argue about this, because Jesus fed 5000 people in the wilderness with bread and fish. Listen, this person were hungry and he couldn't preach to them because they were hungry, so he asked for what was available and offered it to god and that's how it multiplied. You cannot preach to a hungry man, you that is reading this now cannot withstand hunger and continue to read when it is that you are not fasting. If you use the story of those who offered sacrifices in the bible as a defense, my question to you is, did you saw them eating the remnants? I guess NO.

Lord Jesus Christ was a shepherd, he loved and played with sheeps. So do not use God and Jesus to defend what is wrong. It is a sin if you do that, I am not judging anybody, am only creating the awareness of what is right. Just because something is popular does not mean it is right. What is right is right. The truth is the truth and must be accepted by all, most especially those sincere ones who are sincerely willing to grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially and physically.

Some Muslims claims that killing of dog is right, Prophet Mohammed accepted confinement, but only if the needs of the animal were met, and was attentive to their emotional needs, as illustrated in his rebuke of a man who sharpened a knife in front of a sheep who was to be sacrificed. Also often cited in support of claims that Mohammed forbade keeping dogs are Hadith 4:539, usually translated as “The Prophet said, ‘Angels do not enter a house which has either a dog or a picture in it,'” and Hadith 4:540, “Allah’s Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed.” for more info read from the Source: http://www.animals24-7.org/2015/11/20/what-did-the-prophet-mohammed-really-say-about-dogs/

Even today, neuroscientist has some amount of substantial evidence as to prove that some part of the human brains is reptilian, which is an evidence to prove that the evolutionary process is real. This something that eastern philosophers who study the Vedas, Puranas, and Upanishads have always talked about. There are 8,400,000 (eight million four hundred thousand) species of living entities and of all of them, we humans are the most well developed in bodily structure, mindset and intelligence. If you study the human brain in both human beings and that of animals, you will see this through the development of the spine and cerebral cortex.

“The humble sage, by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a learned and gentle brahmana, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-gita, 5.18) for more info check out the following link: https://krishnasmercy.com/2009/08/11/animal-sacrifice/

However, you may try to disagree with me; I will still stand on the ground and believe that animal killing of any kind, except the incident of an attack is wrong. The killing of animals is one of the major cause of disease and war in the world today. You can curse chaos in the animal kingdom and expect peace in the human environment. What you give is what you get, what goes around comes around.


Let us take for instance red meats; red meat is one of the major causes of cancer, heart disease and other deadly and incurable diseases. I know due to genetics and environment it is difficult to practice vegetarianism, especially in Africa. I happen to be born into a family of vegetarians and I can tell you it as saved me from so many dangers and deadly diseases. I am always having a perfectly healthy body, mind, and soul.

For beginners, we usually recommend them to eat fish, crayfish, and other lower aquatic animals. This is because these species are far from humans in the chain line of the evolutionary process. Mammals are equally as the same as human being, no much difference. This can be confirmed from the book of Isaiah chapter 66 verse 3, And I quote, ‘’he that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offers an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.’’

Even medical doctors in hospitals would usually recommend vegetarianism for elderly people over 40 years and above, which the same exact practice is healthy and good for young teens and adults too. I am not being biased, but this also good for young people too. Those of you who do not know much and wish to know more, I advise you to do more research online.

Finally, I wish that the same people who fight for pet and dog rights, would fight for other animal rights. Make sure you carry out all your research well before you try to argue or comment wrongly on regarding this topic or you will be defeated easily.
