Christian Vegetarian Association Presents:
Take Heart!
Jesus: An Animal Advocate

Joel Freedman, chair of the public education committee of Animal Rights Advocates of Upstate New York, makes a case for Jesus being vegetarian and spreading his message of compassion and love to all creatures. Freedman refers to the Bible but also to the Gospel of the Holy Twelve, what he calls the “original teachings of Jesus.”  Regardless of accepting all or some Christian beliefs, Feedman emphasizes that if we just follow Jesus’ core teaching of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” the world would be a more compassionate one.

There is no doubt that Jesus showed us the path of healing, restoration and reconciliation. His teachings centered on embracing the least, the poor, the suffering, the victim and the needed. Today, billions of God’s creatures every week around the world are recipient of humanity’s fury due to hardness of heart. When we allow ourselves to feel and to empathize with the pain and suffering God’s creatures are experiencing, we realize we don’t want to be part of the cause anymore. And we also realize that a lifestyle that includes the exploitation of any other being is inconsistent with Christ’s teachings.
