The Bible Condemns Hurting Animals for Entertainment
The Bible firmly condemns hurting animals for the sake of entertainment in Genesis 49:6. Here are three different translations:
- Genesis 49:6 NLT: May I never join in their meetings; may I never be a party to their plans. For in their anger they murdered men, and they crippled oxen just for sport.
- Genesis 49:6 GNT: I will not join in their secret talks, Nor will I take part in their meetings, For they killed people in anger And they crippled bulls for sport.
- Genesis 49:6 ISV: I'll never join their council; I'll never enter their assembly. In their anger they committed murder and lamed cattle just for fun.
