If they were far superior to people, they would not have been sacrificed to God (at his command, as a foreshadowing of the Messiah’s death)) while people who killed people were under the death sentence. Man was made in God’s image, animals were not. To say that animals are innocent, I wholeheartedly agree with. To say they are superior I cannot agree with.
well, animals are spiritually/morally superior since they cannot sin
and don’t need “salvation” to go to Heaven
and animals don’t stab you in the back, either
and animals (dogs, cats, horsies) are at least ten times smarter than the 53% of America that voted for Obama
