Animal Rights/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

Expertise

I can answer questions regarding animals rights from a biblical Christian worldview. If you were to try to place me in a category, you'd probably place me in the 'animal welfare' category rather than say, the 'animal rights' or the more extreme animal activist categories like PETA, ALF, etc. Please know that I am not here to get into debates with anyone, or deal with people wanting an argument. If you want to try to argue with me I am wrong on certain things, don't bother even sending a question. This is not the reason why I am volunteering here. Also, please realize that I am not a bona-fide quotable source for anyone's research papers or projects. I have my beliefs and opinions and have done personal research, but nothing professionally that would make me a good source for such things. I will reject any such requests.

Experience in the area

I am a pet owner of several house rabbits. I have done extensive reading and research on the topics of animals in the bible, how they are treated, and biblical stewardship of mankind on the earth.

Organizations

House Rabbit Society, WI House Rabbit Society, HAWS.

Education/Credentials

BSEE, MSEE, Marquette University.

What do you like about this subject?

I believe it is important to treat animals properly, without being unnecessarily cruel or hurtful even if the animal's ultimate destination is the food supply. I believe how we treat our own animals is a reflection on ourselves.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Holding a Christian/biblical stewardship viewpoint on animal treatment is most likey to tick off people who are extremists or conversely believe we can do anything to animals and it doesn't matter.
