The Sin Of Cruelty Towards Animals
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”—Genesis 1:26 The holy word of inspiration has expressly declared, that “God made man upright:” but that man is low fallen from his first estate, we have not only the testimony of Scriptures, but of daily experience.
