Should Christians eat animals? The challenge of Christian animal ethics
ABCAn abyss lies between a Christian understanding of how animals should be treated, and the way we in fact treat them. Christians are currently acting in ways that completely disregard the status of animals as fellow animal creatures of the God we worship ― especially in manner we use them for food. Therefore, a Christian doctrine of creation gives us good reasons to see humans alongside our fellow animal creatures, as one of God's many species of animal creatures. Reducing consumption is vital to improve animal welfare standards; we can only give animals used for food lives worth living in the context of raising many fewer of them. Shift to higher welfare for remaining products Alongside reducing overall consumption of animals, we need to source the remaining animal products we consume from higher welfare sources that provide more opportunity for farmed animals to flourish and glorify God in their particular creaturely ways.
