Invites you to watch the movie "A Prayer for Compassion"

Author:

Dr. Joanne Kong: "Society as a whole has a huge blind spot where animals are concerned. We have become so numb to the exploitation of animals which is the most violent and cruel act taking place on the planet today."

We are not cruel people. But are we complicit with the unfathomable suffering caused by factory farming? Please consider watching  "A Prayer for Compassion" (2019) $. It presents global spiritualities' common theme of compassion for all life. Genesis  (1:29-30) instructs : "God also said: 'See, I give you every seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food: and to all the animals of the land, all the birds of the air, and all the living creatures that crawl on the ground, I give all the green plants for food.' " Jeffrey Cohan relates in verse 1:26,  'dominion over' does not equate to abuse or subjugation of, but rather the way God has "dominion" over humans which has the primary attributes of mercy and compassion. (see time stamp 31:10)
