Company description:: Modern factory farms treat animals like machines. Innocent animals experience painful mutilations without anesthesia, suffer greatly from stressful, crowded conditions, and are unable to perform any of the behaviors God designed them to do.
Matthew Scully, a special assistant and senior speechwriter for President George W. Bush, has generated widespread interest in animal issues in his book "Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy". Scully believes that we are God's agents of love and mercy for all animals, including those in puppy mills and those used for food, sport, and experimentation. Scully notes that the pain and misery inherent in factory farming is inconsistent with Christians' calling to be merciful, and he encourages all Christians to avoid animal products, particularly those from factory farms.
Despite theological differences, Christians universally recognize that animals belong to God. In a world desperately in need of compassion, perhaps one unifying concern will be for the animals. |
