Man was given dominion over the earth and the fullness thereof. For the student of the Old Testament, God made it clear that there were "clean" animals that were designed for our digestion and "unclean" animals that we were not designed by God for nutritional purposes.

Mankind has hunted for survival for centuries upon centuries. There have been times in history where man didn't use good judgment and almost caused animals to go extinct (buffalo comes to mind). However, controlled hunts are actually good for the wild game population.

I haven't hunted or fished in several years but I'm not opposed to it. I do love animals. I love God's creation. I watch the squirrels and birds around my house quite often. There's a neighbor's cat that comes over to visit almost daily (probably because I give her tidbits of goodies from time to time). I even enjoy watching ants run around carrying things or looking for things. I find them very interesting.

I admit, I like my steak and hamburger and beef hotdogs. I like turkey and chicken sandwiches. We have lots of meat in our freezer.

no it is not against love, animals have no souls. I stoped hunting years ago myself, but in my circle when watching "Bambi" everyone knows how many point buck the father was and will say good shot, not cry.

ActionJackson agrees: Agree and agree. Nothing like bringing down a 12 pointer. And I do love the meat.

God is love and yet after the Flood He gave mankind permission to use animals as food to in order to sustain human life. However, that is not the way it was to be before the fall. Perfect sinless humans as well as animals were intended to be vegetarians.

Gnesis 1:
29And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so. 31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. EVS


The restoration of all things will eliminate predation:


Isaiah 65:25
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD. KJV

So eating of meat is a temporary situation both for animals and mankind.
It seems likely that God will modify the digestive system of such predators so they can survive on such a diet.

Here is an interesting essay on the subject:

Actually, I have a survival book where the author states that red meat is the most nutritionally diverse food there is. I think bananas were another all around good food. I've known Buddhists who ate raw fish (sushi) and the private parts of tigers for sexual enhancement. No thanks, I'll stick to a nice, juicy hamburger with mustard, mayo, and catsup.

Excellent post. I tried to rate but couldn't. I fully believe that the world was perfect at one time and that it will be again. All will be restored to God's original design.

Vegetables and fruits are certainly good for mankind. Some animals are carnivores (meat eaters only), some are herbivores (vegetable eaters only) and some are omnivores (meat and vegetable eaters). Man falls in the "omnivore" category. We have teeth designed to eat both meat and vegetables.
