People love their pets, but do they have the same rights as humans? Should we stand with organizations like PETA for the rights of animals?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the topic of animals rights in America. We look through Scripture to see how God views animals, how he commands mankind to interact with animals, and how that should impact us today. We talk through the role of hunting and eating meat, while also addressing cruelty to animals and how we ought to respond to that. We hope this is helpful to you, whether you’re an animal lover or not!
