Christian Vegetarian Association - Promoting a healthy diet, compassion and love

Garrett, one of our co-founders, submitted this link. It’s an interesting alternative to what we published yesterday.

Many people often say that their religious beliefs compel or allow them to eat meat or that God gave animals to humans to use any way we please.  The Christian Vegetarian Association sees it another way.  They believe that God originally made all humans and animals vegetarian and that we have a responsibility to take care of and protect all of God’s creation - including animals.  Check out their site and share it with your friends who are Christian or who are interested in this topic.

Genesis 1:29
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”

Romans 14:21
It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause any person to stumble

Matthew 25:41-45

“I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least among you, you did not do for me.”

Lawyers for animals? The Swiss are considering it and we should too.

Swiss voters will go to the polls March 7 to decide whether each of the country’s 26 cantons (similar to states) should be obligated to appoint a special attorney to represent pets and farm animals in court in cases of alleged abuse.  Texas needs the same initiative.

Animal Law

Farmers there are opposed to the initiative, but why?
