Animals as Food
Comments by Frank and Mary Hoffman - 17 Nov 2009

Dear Eric:

Thank you for writing, and yes, we are well aware of the way animals eat other animals.

We also agree that humans are the dominant animal, but such a position doesn't give us the right to kill other living beings. On the contrary, we have both the intelligence and ability to rise above such base practices, and protect the animals and live on a plant based diet. We'd be a lot healthier, too, and we would also help protect the environment, since 18% of all greenhouse gases come from the farming of animals.

We should all be living as loving, compassionate peacemakers for the benefit of the whole of God's creation.

In the Love of the Lord,

Frank and Mary
