As it so happens, what Jesus did before being resurrected put an end to the need for animal sacrifice, so one could reason he was the savior for animals as well.
Regardless, this is why I get so upset at any sign of animal abuse. I just cannot understand anyone seeing an animal as just a thing, not a fellow living, breathing, and feeling being. The entire time I was reading this, Ralph was purring by my side, so know there is still a lot of good out there in regard to animal wellbeing. There's just also a lot of ignorance... Does Canada have any sort of enforcement to protect animals? It's a pretty huge thing down here, so usually when any form of animal abuse is found, it's quickly shut down.
Easter is actually a really bad time for animals though, since a lot of people think it's the perfect excuse to get an adorable baby animal, be it for their kids, or what have you. But, when the cute baby grows up into a not so cute adult, the poor animal is often abandoned to fend for itself. It disgusts me... If a person does not intend to care for an animal for the rest of its natural life, they ought not get an animal at all!
..and sheesh, I guess it's no surprise people can be absolutely horrible to each other when they can't even treat animals well. What's even sadder, many people do not need an excuse (like hating gays) to hurt another. There was a news story earlier this week where two women got into a fight over a man, which ended in one getting in her car and running over the other. ..and it was all caught on video. It's just senseless!
We're in a really crazy society now where people prefer to stand back and watch, especially if they can record a video to post online, than to actually do something. It boggles my mind...
