I've been reading several posts about an influencer who was criticized for riding an elephant during her trip to Thailand—a country where elephants are often abused in tourism. Now, this same influencer is speaking out against allowing pets in restaurants, citing hygiene concerns like fur in the food. While I understand the need for cleanliness, this feels like a small matter compared to the larger issue of how we respect and care for animals.
As someone who claims to be a Christian, I wonder if she has fully considered the teachings of the Bible, which emphasize love and respect for all of God’s creatures. Proverbs 12:10 says, "The righteous care for the needs of their animals." This should apply to all animals, whether they’re wild or pets.
Dogs, no matter their breed, are companions that bring joy, comfort, and unconditional love to our lives. They aren’t just inconveniences to be excluded from spaces. If a restaurant is pet-friendly, simple solutions like designated areas or hygiene practices can easily address any concerns about cleanliness without denying pets the right to be with their humans.
We should strive to create a world where animals are treated with the love and respect they deserve. Whether it’s elephants in the tourism industry or pets in restaurants, we have a responsibility to care for them as part of God’s creation. Let’s focus on fostering kindness, not exclusion. 🐕🐘❤️
