[quote:Anonymous Coward 515900:MV8xNjI0MzM4XzI2ODI0OTI2XzYzNkFCRTQ=] Genesis 3:14 supports the assertion that the animals began to die after the fall, as God declares to the serpent: ‘ … cursed are you above all cattle and above all wild animals’ (RSV). The contrast ‘above all’ communicates that the serpent’s curse would be greater than the curse of the all other animals. Hence, all animals are being cursed at this moment in time. There is nothing in the text of Genesis 1 that would lead one to believe the animals were experiencing death before God’s curse. The text of Genesis 1 indicates that the animals were not eating and killing each other prior to the fall of Adam. ‘And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food. And it was so.’59 Animals were originally designed to eat vegetation, not each other. http://creation.com/cosmic-and-universal-death-from-adams-fall-an-exegesis-of-romans-819-23a#txtRef61 [/quote]
Original Message
There was research that plants and vegetables react to stimuli in a way that's analogous to pain. So, where do you draw the line? Why is it OK to slice an onion in half with a sharp knife but confer feelings and emotions on killing an animal.
What a bunch of hypocrites.
