Our Creator’s view of humans and of animals
The Bible indicates that our Creator, Jehovah God,a views humans as superior to animals and that he has given people authority over them. (Genesis 1:27, 28) Eventually, God permitted humans to use animals for food. (Genesis 9:3) However, he does not condone the mistreatment of animals.—Proverbs 12:10.
According to the Bible, whether we eat meat is a personal decision.b Our choice does not make us better people in God’s eyes. (1 Corinthians 8:8) No one should criticize the choice that another person makes about what he chooses to eat.—Romans 14:3.
