Christians, Should we be good stewards over the animals?

We Answered:

I think we were told, yes, to take care of the garden- not kill everything else that lives and breathes!!!!

Surely we can work out co-existance, as we are doing now- with nature reserves.

God made everything living- and everything is so fantastic and wonderful to behold. I think it wrong to not appreciate it all.

It's like slapping God in the face if we don't care. We are "the crown of creation" but God said it was ALL good.

I think we should be very careful of our garden- or we show gross and base stupidity.

Farming and raising the "approved" meat animals- that is what God meant I think.

We can have both- wildlife and farms.

what can companies do to save wild animals?

How do I become this kind of lawyer and what is it called?

We Answered:

You want to be an environmental lawyer. You don't say how old you are or where you are in school. Basically, you have to go to college (4 years) and then law school (3 years). You should work very hard to get good grades, because you will want to go to the best college you can get into. Going to a good college improves your chances to get into a good law school. These credentials (good college and good law school) will help you immensely in your quest to become an environmental lawyer.

While you are going to school (especially college and law school) you should become involved in environmental causes. Join and do volunteer work for environmental organizations, such as the Sierra Club, the World Wildlife Federation, Friends of the Earth, and the like. By becoming involved in these organizations, you will make contacts that will help you get the job you want. In college and law school, you should take whatever courses are offered in environmental law. Your contacts with the environmental organizations and your activities in the environmental movement will establish your credentials as an environmental activist, and make it more likely that you will be taken seriously when you apply for the job you are seeking.

The critical factors are hard work, persistence and luck. You can supply the first two.

Jason Said:

Why do people compare declawing with spaying/neutering?

We Answered:

Beacuse I have a right to do as I please to live with MY animals. I worked hard to design and furnish my home. I do not want it destroyed by my cats. I had to replace one drapery panel before the cats went to get declawed. It was either declawing or living outside and the hazzards that would involve. They prefer the living inside.

Grace Said:

Animals, such as dolphins, conserving energy?

We Answered:

Actually, counter current circulation is one way to conserve energy. Another way that dolphins evolved to conserve energy in travel (besides, torpedo shaped hairless bodies) is that their blubber is molecularly arranged so that it acts as a spring to keep their flukes moving and propelling them through the water.

They also bow ride for this reason. The whole idea is that the boat cuts through the current (and the miniscus tension of the top of the water) and leaves an easier path for the dolphins.

Conservation of energy can happen on many levels in all animals. For instance it's one of the reasons humans are such great walkers.
