Thou Shall Not Kill

Today you see nature programs and television commercials about saving wildlife and or animal cruelty. Some think that there should be no hunting or killing any animals at all. Others think that there is nothing wrong with hunting, as long as you do not kill too many animals or rare and endangered ones. Then there are those that just see an animal as something they can exploit for profit. And what about killing animals to feed the world?

Why am I writing this book? I am an outdoor writer and have been for many years. Besides having the insight of a hunter, angler and conservationist, I have also studied the Bible since I was fourteen-years-old. One of the topics that I have studied is how God views the way we treat animals. The other topic is about what is predicted to happen to the world, not only concerning the animals, but also to us.

In this book, I will point out what God thinks. Is it wrong to eat meat? Is it wrong to kill a wild animal? What about the abuse of an animal and what is abuse? Does the commandment given by God, 'Thou shall not kill, ' mean people or does it mean animals, too? Does God tell us how we are to treat animals in our care?
