Animal Cruelty – Wisdom from the Good Book

Jun 7th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

I am not an animal activist. I am not an activist of any kind for that matter.

However, Ex 23 says “You are not boil a kid in the milk of its mother.”

I may be wrong but it seems to me that there ought to be some sympathy extended even to the animal kingdom.

There is a dish that I ate often in Japan that reminded me of this passage – oyakodon. Oya = parent. Ko = kid. It was the parent and child together in a dish. Chicken and egg on rice. I wonder now if I should have passed on this dish. Instead, I am getting hungry now.
