This has long been interpreted to mean that humans have power over animals and can use them at their will. Vegetarians and vegans have likely heard at one time or another that, “God created animals for us to eat.” Yet, as discussed at the Christian Reflections on Animal Welfare presentation on April 29th, this concept of dominion is far more compassionate than domineering.
