Read Genesis 1:26-28. What do you think being human means for our relationship with the Earth and its creatures? Are we rulers, stewards, servants, neighbours or friends? What does it mean to fill the role you have chosen? Is this how you have lived your life?
More than 300,000 harp seals are clubbed or shot to death each year in Canada. 96% of them will be less than 3 months old, and some may be even skinned alive. Is this just the activity of greedy hunters, or does it reflect an attitude in the Western world that human beings have a right to dominate creation, a right based on the reading?
What if the hunters were only taking enough to feed their family? Does the fact this is an endangered species make a difference?
