Animals

By H. E. Sawyer-Hopkins

THE dumb animals are God's creatures, brought forth for the service of mankind. Because man has power over them, has he any right to mistreat them? What do the Scriptures say?—“A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Man is accountable for his treatment of these dumb creatures, which are helpless, and cannot express their feelings.
God's “tender mercies are over all His works.” Do men realize that their cruelty will ever be known? “A record goes up to heaven, and a day is coming against those who abuse God's creatures.”
H. E. Sawyer-Hopkins
