Bible verses about animal cruelty

1. Genesis 33:13-14
Jacob said to him, “ Sir, you know that the children are frail and that I have to take care of the flocks and cattle that are nursing their young. If they’re driven too hard for even one day, all the flocks will die . Go ahead of me, sir. I will slowly and gently guide the herds that are in front of me at their pace and at the children’s pace until I come to you in Seir.”
They are living breathing creatures.

2. Ecclesiastes 3:19-20
Humans and animals have the same destiny. One dies just like the other. All of them have the same breath of life . Humans have no advantage over animals. All of life is pointless. All life goes to the same place. All life comes from the ground, and all of it goes back to the ground.


God loves animals.

3. Jonah 4:10-11
And the Lord said, “You did nothing for that plant. You did not make it grow. It grew up in the night, and the next day it died. And now you are sad about it. If you can get upset over a plant, surely I can feel sorry for a big city like Nineveh. There are many people and animals in that city. There are more than 120,000 people there who did not know they were doing wrong.”


4. Psalm 145:8-11
The Lord is full of loving-favor and pity, slow to anger and great in loving-kindness. The Lord is good to all. And His loving-kindness is over all His works. All Your works will give thanks to You, O Lord. And all those who belong to You will honor You. They will speak of the shining-greatness of Your holy nation, and talk of Your power.

5. Job 38:39-41
Can you hunt food for the lion? Can you fill the hunger of the young lions, when they lie in their own place in the rock, or wait in their hiding place? Who gets the food ready for the raven, when its young cry to God and go about without food?

7. Psalm 147:9-11
He provides the animals with their food, and the young ravens, what they cry for. He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; He does not value the power of a man. The Lord values those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His faithful love.

8. Deuteronomy 22:6-7
You might find a bird’s nest by the road, in a tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs. If you find the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young. Be sure to let the mother go. But you may take the young for yourself. Then it will go well with you, and you will live long.

There will be animals in Heaven.
9. Isaiah 11:6-9
A wolf will reside with a lamb, and a leopard will lie down with a young goat; an ox and a young lion will graze together, as a small child leads them along. A cow and a bear will graze together, their young will lie down together. A lion, like an ox, will eat straw. A baby will play over the hole of a snake; over the nest of a serpent an infant will put his hand. They will no longer injure or destroy on my entire royal mountain. For there will be universal submission to the Lord’s sovereignty, just as the waters completely cover the sea.


Animal rights
10. Proverbs 12:10
 Good people take care of their animals , but even the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

11. Exodus 23:5 If you see that your enemy’s donkey has fallen because its load is too heavy, do not leave it there. You must help your enemy get the donkey back on its feet.

12. Proverbs 27:23 Be sure you know how your sheep are doing, and pay attention to the condition of your cattle .

13. Deuteronomy 25:4 When an ox is working in the grain ,do not cover its mouth to keep it from eating.

14. Exodus 23:12-13 You should work six days a week,but on the seventh day you must rest. This lets your ox and your donkey rest, and it also lets the slave born in your house and the foreigner be refreshed. Be sure to do all that I have said to you . You must not even say the names of other gods; those names must not come out of your mouth.


Bestiality is animal cruelty.
15. Deuteronomy 27:21
‘ Cursed is the one who commits bestiality .’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

16. Leviticus 18:23-24
You must not have sexual intercourse with any animal to become defiled with it, and a woman must not stand before an animal to have sexual intercourse with it; it is a perversion. Do not defile yourselves with any of these things, for the nations which I am about to drive out before you have been defiled with all these things.
Christians are to be loving and kind.

17. Galatians 5:19-23
Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God! But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

18. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Love is always patient; love is always kind; love is never envious or arrogant with pride. Nor is she conceited, and she is never rude ; she never thinks just of herself or ever gets annoyed. She never is resentful.

19. Proverbs 11:17-18 The man who shows loving-kindness does himself good , but the man without pity hurts himself. The sinful man earns false pay, but he who spreads what is right and good gets pay that is sure.
Abusers

20. Proverbs 30:12
There are people who are pure in their own eyes, but are not washed from their own dirt.

21. Proverbs 2:22 But wicked people will be cut off from the land and treacherous people will be torn from it.

22. Ephesians 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.
