see the quote from St. Francis of Assisi at #10 for a general statement of our responsibility.

Yeah, I saw that, and it left me with the same question. "Any of God's creatures" would seem to include chipmunks, mice, rats, snakes, spiders, ... So, I also have to wonder how you feel about mousetraps, flyswatters, etc. I suppose it's conceivable that my dispensing a quick death to them is showing them "compassion and pity." But, is it okay to put out D-CON to control mice and/or rats? How would you feel about my drowning them?

They are children for their entire lives.

You believe they're "eternal"? If so, on what do you base such a belief? Please be specific.

This isn't a Crevo thread -- if you want to go torture kittens, have at it.
