We have God-given dominion over the animals. That includes our responsibility to treat them humanely, and with proper husbandry.

Animals have no rights and no responsibilities. We are the ones who are responsible for them and must protect them.

That they feel pain is not disputable. That we should not torture them is part of our dominion.

Your equating our duty to them with what they would do to an injured human defies all logic. God has not given them that responsibility, nor the intellect to realize it.

Do you eat racoon? Do you eat meat? Have you attended a slaughter house? Have you listened to the screams as a vegetarian, of the millions of beings killed in the earth by the plow or harvest?

LOL. Get thee to a nunnery.

Absolutely.

Our species is supposed to be the one with the large brain and morals. Some humans are savages, but some of us try to be better than that when we deal with other people and with animals.
