God killed the first animal.
God clothed Adam & Eve in animal skin to help them cover their shame after the first sin.
God killed an animal first, skinned it, tanned it & clothed His creation with part of His creation.
God gave dominion to Adam & Eve over the Earth and its living creatures, before the fall.
He did not take that dominion away when they sinned. He kept the blessing and added the consequence.
Sweat & toil & pain.
And blood.
Mercy was given that day.
God made the first sacrifice, out of love.
God killed the first animal.
Therefore, as a Daughter of the Most High, who has dominion over the animals and earth that I was placed on, born into sin, kill an animal to give life to my body, to my families bodies, I feel no shame.
We have been given permission, told to follow His example and blessed with the authority to do so.
Tend your animals with deep love and care. Make the sacrifice for life and life abundantly. Eat and taste that the Lord is good.
Do not let anyone shame you, you have authority, permission and the God of Creation on your side.
(See the first 3 chapters of Genesis & Genesis 9:3-4)
