Is animal cruelty a sin

Answer 1

Some religions consider eating certain animals to be a sin. For example, Hinduism prohibits consuming cows, and Judaism prohibits consuming pork. However, eating animal meat in general is not considered to be sinful.

Answer 2

Christians have a similar view to Muslims they believe that treating animals badly or misbehaving with them is morally wrong but old christian thinkers thought and taught people that you could treat an animal however you wanted and it wouldn't actually make a big difference.

I am a Christian, and I don't recall anything specific about how to treat animals. However, I do know that we were not made smarter than all the other species so that we could toture them. We are supposed to protect and befriend animals.

Answer 3

Christians theology stands opposed to cruelty of all sort.

Answer 4

Yes.

Proverbs 12:10 ESV: "Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel."

Surely it's a capital sin.
