The Bible and Farm Animal Welfare

Science & Faith

“The world when the Bible was written involved both friendly and exploitative interaction with non-human animals. David Grumett presents evidence from the words of the Bible for careful observation and deduction as a lesson for each person organizing their life to respect sentient animals and all of the living world. He explains that modern attitudes to animal welfare involve a return to biblical values as well as use of the latest scientific knowledge.”
