Animal Rights
There are
some people who believe that eating meat is ethically wrong because
it is cruelty to animals. I agree that the big companies
who raise chickens, pigs and cows for slaughter are not right in
caging them up and injecting them with deadly chemicals. But
God is not against the killing and eating of animals. True
Parents have shot everything from ducks to fish. Some big fish
have to be shot in the head before they can put in a boat because
they can kill and injure people with their powerful fins and
tails. Father says that the blood from the fish around them on
the side of the boat after being shot is not to be looked at as
cruelty or evil. It is a natural thing. Animals are made
for man. They have no spirit. True Parents the greatest
teachers of what is spiritual in human history. Father is an
expert fisherman and teaches that everyone should do some fishing
too.
Here are some posters and pictures from animal rights activists. They are wrong in believing that animals, even fish, have feelings that must be taken into account when they are being hunted. There are laws against animal cruelty that may be correct, but shooting a deer or moose and fishing for salmon is not cruelty. It is a good thing.
