this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good afternoon everyone we're headed to the wildlife Conservatory so I would like to continue the theme we've been speaking about regarding Tsar Valley science and more specifically animal rights and I just want to put into perspective perhaps from a Torah perspective what the view of animal rights is and the grave danger of over-emphasizing animal rights the safer hoega written by reveal sefalbo has really a magnificent presentation of the two outlooks on life of cayenne and Havel ultimately showing how they were both in error and how that the world did not come to correction until Chase comes to the scene in the opinion of the safe room one of the great reshining from your sibal he brings that what's the reason Cayenne brought a carbon from me prijo Adama Cayenne said to himself Cayenne recognized that man's superiority over animal was very minimal Cayenne said the only advantage that man has over animal is the animal will eat whatever presents itself the animal is not going to necessarily look for a better tasting grass or better herbage or better plants whatever presents itself to the animal the animal will partake of so therefore man's superiority over animals only that man could could prepare better herbs better grass at this point in time man was not permitted to eat meat so they're for cayenne's carbon his demonstration about God bestowed upon man was in his opinion man was not allowed to kill animal even to bring a carbon Cayenne felt and man and animal were basically on the same level on the other hand hevel understood the superiority of man over animal but even in the world of hevel hevel felt man was not permitted to kill animals only for the sake of the sacrifice otherwise otherwise just to eat in animals that would be considered murder now Havel was more on the right track meaning hevel understood man's superiority to animal but he still felt man was not permitted to indiscriminately kill animal only for the sake of bring your current Hashem says the state for liquid even though Heather was more correct but because his attitude was more likely to lead people astray namely man was greater than animal just man was not permitted to slaughter animal God allowed hevel to be killed because his attitude was corrupt however when hevel brought a carbon Hashem turned to the carbon of heavel and not Cayenne because at least hevel recognized the superiority of men what happened Cayenne makes the following corrupt calculation Kion sees hevel brings the carbon he Slaughters an animal the kind says wow murder must be permitted if hevel brings a carbon and he kills an animal and God accepted it cayenne and never occurred to kind well maybe man is superior to animal all Cayenne Seas is heavily killing an animal and God accepts it so it must be murderers permitted so Cayenne said if hevel could kill an animal I'm allowed to kill heaven and that is why Cayenne became a murderer in other words animal right and murder are the same because once a person takes animal rights to too far and man and animal become equal that is where human life loses value and it's interesting says I say for Akram when God comes to cayenne and he says why do you kill your brother old Cayenne took from that is not man a superior to animal he took from that murder is prohibited and I can't kill man and I can kill animal he never got the the message that man is superior to animal not until Chase is born says the safer Akram does apusek say only by the birth of Chase does it say man is created in the image of God because until she is people never recognize the superiority of man what is the superiority superiority of man that man is created in the image of Hashem and it doesn't say when Kyan was born he was born in the image of God because nobody recognized that it doesn't say by Heaven that he was creating the image of Hashem it wasn't recognized not until the birth of Chase I want to share with you I once set over the safer hike rib many years ago someone in our school I remember his name Josh schachter He pointed out look at the amazingida because ultimately what happened to Cayenne Seven Generations later his great-great-great-grandson Lemak is going hunting and his son and limit was blind so his son said shoot shoots and lemon mistook Kayan for an animal you see what happens you see the music because Cayenne did not recognize the superiority of man over animal his punishment was quid pro quo he was mistaken for an animal and ultimately he was killed like an animal and the lesson says the safer Akram is that while sarb it is a fundamental you saw it that man is superior to animal because Man was created in the image of the Creator himself so that's the limud of the episode of cayenne and heaven so before you go to a wildlife conservatory and you see the millions of dollars invested in it recognized wear your sadaka money ought to go and uh important as important as it is to keep animals safe to our much more important things to worry about in this world you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you
