Psa 104 –9-13
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
that they turn not again to cover the earth.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the hills.
They give drink to every beast of the field:
the wild asses quench their thirst.
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
[which] sing among the branches.
He watereth the hills from his chambers:
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works
In your heart do you believe God doesn't care about the animals
Cares FOR, definitely. After all, they are our food.
Cares about? Yes, in that they are part of his creation.
To be honest though, I cannot presume to know the mind of God in all of this. I think the guys that did this have a problem, like when I shot a robin in the 5th grade. I felt horrible afterward exactly because it was senseless.
But I think you are reading too much into this verse. It is merely stating that God supplies all that his creation needs. It is stating nothing more than that.
Again it is to let us know that he will supply our needs and comfort us.
My main concern on this thread is that too many people want to put this thing at the level of doing the same thing to a human. This doesn't increase the value of the kittens life. Rather it de-values human life.
