I know this will likely get me flamed, but that quote makes no sense to me whatsoever. I see nowhere in the Bible that suggests to me that because I cannot end animal euthanasia I will not go to Heaven. What have I missed?
I suspect this thread is populated with mostly suburban and apartment-dwelling middle-aged childless women. I also suspect none of you have ever had to put down a sick or crippled animal yourself like those of us who were raised on farms or in the country. And no, I don’t mean a blubbery trip to the vet’s office and a half-hour goodbye while Fluffy is “put to sleep” when the vet could have been helping some other sick animal.
I mean like your favorite dog that got run over by a car and, with paralyzed back legs, dragged herself home by her front paws; I mean like a gorgeous colt that broke his foreleg, bone protruding from the flesh, both in excruciating agony. The deer or cow hit by a truck; you get out of your car, walk up, and find the animal in a wild, wide-eyed panic. Sorry, but we have become so separated from the reality of death that we have turned the lives (and deaths) of these precious creatures into circus acts.
Can't help you...it's not my quote.
