Man's desire for productivity will be in harmony with his concern for the animal's welfare. It is possible that evolutionary perspectives have had a harmful effect, both on the way animals have been bred to maximise their productivity, and on the new developments with hormone injection. It is as though people think that they can mould animals to suit their immediate requirements, and that there are no limits to variability. Creationists thank God for the variability which we can make use of in domestic animals. However, we also believe that there are limits to the selective changes that are possible, and that the closer we approach these limits, the more vulnerable the organisms become and the more dependent they are on man for survival.
Society appears to be guilty of manipulating animals for commercial gain and low-cost foods.
It is easy to close one's eyes to the issues and let matters take their course. As Christian stewards, we know that our dominion over creation is a delegated dominion, and we are responsible to God for the way we treat his world. However we respond, let us do it as God's people, demonstrating that we care about the world in which we live. FastCounter by LinkExchange BCS will be pleased to receive your comments on our site.
