Christian Vegetarian Association Presents:
Take Heart!
God’s Animals are Intelligent Creatures

Nonhuman animals are much more intelligent that we have ever recognized. In fact, in many tasks, they put us to shame. Chimpanzees have better memory, elephants and other nonhumans animals are self aware (just like us), many of them use tools, they mourn, etc. These are just some examples of their incredible complexity.

Nonhuman animals are creations of God. They are complex sentient beings who have incredible intelligence that allows them to thrive in their own environments. It is time to ask ourselves if we have been blindly (or maybe intentionally) ignoring that God’s animals indeed are too much like us. Once we recognize that intelligence and sentience are part of the whole animal kingdom, we might be much more reluctant to cause them suffering and death in order to fulfill our wants. Most people are able to live a fulfilling and joyous life without eating God’s animals or their by-products. The choice is ours.
