Dominion over Wildlife?

An Environmental Theology of Human-Wildlife Relations

By: Stephen M. Vantassel

For centuries Christians believed that God granted humanity dominion over the animal kingdom, meaning that we had a moral right to kill, manage, and eat animals including wildlife. Recently, however, environmental and animal rights activists have assaulted this traditional perspective. They argue that dominion as expressed in meat eating and hunting has resulted in species extinction and environmental degradation. Christian Animal Rights (CAR) activists suggest that the church must reevaluate its traditional beliefs in light of the fact that God's original creation was free of human on animal violence. God, they argue, did not want man's dominion to be expressed through trapping, killing, and eating of animals. These violent activities only came about after the Fall, as God condescended to our hardness of heart. CAR activists point to Christ's sacrificial work of reconciliation as a model for modern Christian behavior: as Christ sacrificed for us, we should avoid eating meat and hunting as ways we can participate in Christ's non-violent work of reconciling creation to himself. In this book, Stephen Vantassel investigates the biblical, ethical, and scientific arguments employed by the CAR movement concerning human-wildlife relations. In this regard, the book engages in practical theology by addressing several important questions: How should Christians treat our wildlife neighbors? Has the Church been wrong in its understanding of human dominion? Does God want Christians to avoid hunting, trapping, fishing, and adopt a vegetarian lifestyle? This book provides answers to these questions by detailing a theology the author calls, "Shepherdism.

Being Kind to Animal Pests

By: Stephen Vantassel

When nuisance animal problems occur, people usually demand an immediate solution. Cage and box traps are easily obtainable. They are manufactured to capture a wide variety of wildlife, and they are available through mail order via trapping supply dealers, at the local hardware store, or local organizations, such as the dog pound or humane society. As people continue to invade the territories of animals and animals return the favor by adapting and thriving in human areas, cage/box traps will become more and more popular. This book explains how to use them effectively and humanely, with all possible kindness for our fellow creatures. It covers types, sizes, and features of traps, care and maintenance, setting principles, baiting & luring, their humane use, and tips for trapping specific nuisance animals, including armadillo, beaver, birds, bobcat, rabbit, coyote, foxes, house mouse, muskrat, rat, opossum, raccoon, skunks, snakes, squirrels, voles, and woodchuck.
