Man has truly dominated everything. I appreciate that Jehovah encourages humans to take a measure of responsibility for animal life. The bond a human and animal can form is very powerful, and no doubt humans and animals should not be at odd with each other. All life has value to Jehovah God.

Seems there are far too many wicked, when one considers the state our animal shelters are in.

a person who is truly born again, has the holy spirit in his soul, the very essence of who we are, only Jesus knows who they are for sure, they are not sin less,but are capable of helping the downtrodden and even there animals are treated with respect,the wicked are not like this, no amount of good works and kindness can bridge the gap, only the righteousness of Christ applied to our soul because of his shed blood can get us to heaven,Titus 3:5, Romans5:12 10:9,10,13

He made them for us to love and care for.
