Eating Mercifully

Eating Mercifully is a 26 minute documentary exploring some Christian perspectives on Factory Farming. Many Christians are not aware or completely ignore one of our first mandates, according to the Hebrew scriptures, to care for creation, including all living creatures. This short documentary is merely an introduction to animal care issues. Many who view this and are further along in awareness concerning animal care, will find the steps at the end of the documentary almost laughable. However, any step in a positive direction, especially first ones, are positive in my opinion.

If you are a believer in Christ give this a view and allow it to challenge you. If you are not a believer, give this a view and understand us a little more.

I was made aware of the cruelties of Factory Farming about 2 years ago, by a TV show that was completely unrelated to PETA or any vegetarian group. I am now a strict vegetarian and even am trying to stray away from dairy and leather products. Its great to see some Christians negating the ultra-conservative idea that humans were put on Earth to be rulers or dictators. We are a part of creation as much as anything else.
