mFor exa',Awe was the "Mars Bar
scare ln g nd 'Where candy bars were
supposedtobpoisoned in o.rder
to stop the
candy compan supporting ex-
periments on Aima s: it turned out to be a .
hoax and a very expensive one at that.
Nearer hoaffle, of course,;was the break; in
on New Year's. Day at the University of
Western Ontario lab. On this occasion a
number of animals were stolen or liberated
depending upon your point of view.
In the light of these groups advocating
animal rights, I would like to shed some
light from the scriptures.
It strikes me that the basic issue when one
gets past sentiment and emotion is the ques-
tion, .is there a radical difference between
humans and aniinailc?
The animal rights groups to say the least,
blur this distinction by what they say and
do. Some of them wonder who is man that he
dare to dominate other creatures,
The Jew- and the Christian will point out
that'in the First Book of the Bible, God gave
man "Doihinion over the fish of the sea, and
ov.pr tike fowl of the air, and over the cattle .
N
MINIt T"ek' 'S PTUDY
and over ail the earthy and over every creed',
ing thing that cree th upQn the earth
(Genesis1::26)• Don ion�is'translated also
as "Rule" or. `Be.Masters-
The 'same idea is repeated in Verse 28 of '
having dominion "over every living thing
that inoveth upon the earth". We are also
told in Verse 26 and 27 thatGod created man
in his own image.
Scripture- scholars inform us that this
means that humans are, God's represen-
tative here on earth. Just as God rules the
universe, so mankind rules the earth.
Therefore the Christian (and Jew) sees
man as the crowning glory of this planet,
with responsibilities to God for the well be-
ing of this planet.
We also hold that there is a radical dif-
ference between humans and animals. In
Psalm 8, we read that humans are made "A
little lower than the angels" and have domi-
nion over' all creatures.
God has "Breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life and man became a living
soul". Humans have the power to think and
choose, and these gifts of intellect and will
make the difference between mankind and
the animal wnrlrl

I
think they are a Pring,. ?roup biit,when
,yoarealirte the great expenst� k• • at labs are
laying out for security, you have .-'take
them seriously.
,When you realize that all the money Steve
Fonyo is raising for cancer research plus
much more will now have to be spent to kee .
the lapis safe from this group, you can't just
ignore them.
• Also, when you realize that most animal ls. ,
used in lab experiments are rats .or mice
(and I certajlnly do want them liberated in'
my house), you are left wondering about
how much reason and logic motivate those
people.
They do bring about some good when they
cause us to reflect upon our biblical roots
and ask the question who we are.
Perhaps many of the scientists who feel
they are under siege from this movement,
will also reflect upon who man is, where he
comes from and why he is different.
God gave us this -world and all in it to?use
not abuse, but he did give it to us.
