Religion and Animal Rights: New undercover investigation and video

[Guest guest]

PETA has released a new undercover investigation, with a video, and it

is a particularly good one if you have religious (but non-veg) friends

and family.

 

A Catholic monastery was investigated for their treatment of chickens.

It is narrated by a devout Catholic and mentions Biblical teachings.

 

It's the front page of www.PETA.org <www.peta.org>.

 

I think the issue of religion and kindness to animals can be very messy,

and I often avoid it. I can give 10 examples where the Bible talks

about kindness to animals, but a Christian can hurl 10 examples of " It's

OK to eat meat " right back at me. It turns into a contest about who

knows the Bible better and how the Bible is interpreted, and the animals

are left far behind. However--if you are religious, or you have

religious family members, and/or you're comfortable with these

discussions, there are some great resources out there:

(links to several different websites covering all the major different

religions)

 

Just FYI.
