A Farm Sanctuary campaign

Sentient Beings Campaign Endorsements

Comment from All-Creatures.org

From the Greeks we get our modern day understanding of soul and spirit, but we all too often limit it to ourselves. The Hebrew Bible (The Old Testament) teaches us that both humans and the other animals are all living souls (Hebrew: neh-fesh khah-yaw). We cannot ethically or Biblically eliminate this fact. If we humans have souls and spirits, then so do the animals, and they deserve a better life.

We all enjoy life. We all want to be free to live our lives as God intended, and not be slaves to one another. We all want to be free of pain. Animals are our companions and not our commodities. What we are doing to animals on our factory farms is evil and ungodly. It's time it STOPS. It's time we stop eating animals' flesh and by-products. God has given us an abundance of plant foods to satisfy our every need and desire, and to keep us much more healthy.
