Should we interfere whenever an outbreak happens to an animal species that drives it to the point of extinction, or should we let Nature take its course and not interfere?
We have come to the end of Christopher Southgate’s book The Groaning of Creation. We will have one final meeting coming up to summarize our final thoughts of the book.
In this session we discuss the impact of human overpopulation and if humans should or ought to intervene when an animal species is on the brink of extinction.
Should all animals kept for human consumption be freed for their own sake and happiness? Or can their killing for meat and consumption be a “priestly act” through God’s permission, as Karl Barth puts it.
This week we will cover the first half of the final chapter of Christopher Southgate’s “The Groaning of Creation.”
