Genesis 1:26
The Bible states in Genesis `1:26: "And God said..... let them (human beings) have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the Earth, and over every creeping thing that crept upon the earth
Genesis 1:29-30
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that crept upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Genesis 2:15
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
Exodus 21:33-34
“If anyone uncovers a pit or digs one and fails to cover it and an ox or a donkey falls into it, 34 the one who opened the pit must pay the owner for the loss and take the dead animal in exchange
Exodus 22:6
“If a fire breaks out and spreads into thornbushes so that it burns shocks of grain or standing grain or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make restitution
Leviticus 25:1-3
The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord. 3 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.
Numbers 35:33-34
You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it. You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell, for I the Lord dwell in the midst of the people of Israel.”
Jeremiah 32:17
‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.
Ezekiel 34:18
Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet?
Even though God said we can have dominion over all of the animals but that doesn't mean the Pharmaceutical industry has to kill over 100 million animals every year. We are meant to be the stewards of the Earth not owners of the life God gave us. the goods of the earth has to be used by all. we still have to be responsible with the resources god gave us. In reality if they are doing stuff they have to do it humanely and be responsible with how many animals they use every year. Over the years mankind is destroying both itself and the world it calls home. Before it is to late, it is necessary to make courageous decisions.
