- 11. Give reasons why religious believers should/not eat meat. Religious teachings encourage them not to, e.g. 1st Precept, ahimsa / regard it as cruel / do not like the taste / worry about disease / sacred cows / not halal / not kosher / not good stewardship / because they are vegetarian or vegan,2. Explain briefly what is meant by the term "vegan“ do not use any products that come from animals e.g. meat, eggs, leather. This can be down to religious reasons where people feel that animals must not be used for our pleasure
- 23. Give reasons why religious believers should/not hunt animals. Putting animals through undue pain and suffering. We have domination over animals and this gives us rights over them – this may lead them to believe that hunting animals is okay. There are also some Christians who believe that animals do not have souls and therefore will not go to heaven unlike them. This provides a reason for why they feel that we are at the top of the community and have domination. They may also believe that animals can be used for human gain – as long as their suffering is considered. Ideas of domination and animals being “soulless” could be used to support an argument for why Christians could hunt animals. However, Jesus teaches about showing love and kindness to all things and causing animals undue suffering through game sports for our entertainment does not show kindness or love. Some denominations are also particularly against the hunting of animals. The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) is strongly against hunting of animals as well as zoos, animal circuses and the wearing of fur.4. Give 2 reasons why some animals are kept in zoos. So they can be seen by the public / entertainment / education purposes / to preserve species / breeding programme / help understand them / because they are dangerous / rescue.one mark for each of two valid reasons.(2 marks)
- 35. Give 2 reasons why animals can make good companions for people. Have souls and are therefore the equivalent to human friends, bring entertainment and pleasure to your life. Need taking care of and looking after – which is desired by many people (especially those who may have older children that no longer need this care). They also are always around (particularly animals like dogs) and so provide constant companionship, which is sometimes craved6. Give reasons why religious believers should/not buy fur clothes. Involves slaughter of animals / often threatened species / often result of poaching / question of legality / respect for created life / principle of ahimsa / fake fur is just as good / socially unacceptable etc.
Some animals bred for their fur / no different than keeping animals for meat or using their skins for leather / if an animal is killed for its meat why not use its fur? / traditional / cultural / dominion / economic benefits / keeps people warm - 47. Describe what religious people might do to help protect wildlife. Join animal welfare groups like the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) or the RSPCA / raise awareness e.g. write to press / MPs / monitor treatment of animals / celebrate International Animal Rights Day on December 10th / candlelight vigils / protest marches / petitions / personally set an example / prayer / sponsor an animal8. Religious people have a duty to save endangered animals from extinction. Why/not? Buddhist idea of Interdependence / loving kindness / Christian belief that they are God’s creation / stewardship (Genesis 1:28) / value of each living creature (Luke 12:6) / Hindu belief in sanctity of all life / samsara / Islamic belief that Allah appointed humans as trustees over wildlife / Jews believe we have responsibility over all creation / Sikhs believe we are the custodians of the world / duty to look after God’s creation / could join organisations like WWF / could adopt (sponsor) an animal, etc.
Evolution and the survival of the fittest / what can most believers actually do as it is outside their control? / should be the responsibility of everyone / perhaps the world would be better off without some dangerous animals / should be a choice not compulsory / interpretation of dominion that people can do want they want / endangered species might threaten livelihood / religious believers have other priorities e.g. helping the poor, etc. - 59. Is human life is more valuable than animal life? People made in God’s image / at the top of the evolutionary chain / more intelligent / more adaptable / can make and build things / dominion / Taqwah-awareness of Allah’s presence / enlightenment10. Caring for people is more important than looking after wildlife? Agree People made in God’s image / idea of dominion / at the top of the evolutionary chain / higher stage of samsara / humans more intelligent / more important / millions of people in real need because of hunger / poverty / disease / old age / disability, etc. and so should be looked after first / religious teachings showing the importance of humans. Other Views Humans in charge of creation – Genesis 1: 28 / both important as both created by God / world would be dull without animals / need them for food / work / should look after them as good stewardship / animals have rights as well as humans / interdependence / preventing extinction of species.
- 611. Explain religious attitudes for and against experimenting on animals. Suffering of animals / different types of experimentation / important medical research may be justified / could benefit animals as well / results on animals might be different from that on humans / research for make-up and luxury goods may not be acceptable / stewardship / dominion. Max Level 3 if no religious teachings or beliefs. (4marks) Christians view animals as part of God’s creation. They believe part of their duty, as stewards of creation, is to protect animals, not exploit them. Christians may agree on the use of animals for medical experiments, but would insist on humane conditions / many oppose tests for make-up, etc. Many campaign against cruelty. The RSPCA started as a Christian response to animal cruelty. A minority sees Genesis as meaning that as we are in charge of animals we can do what we want: Psalm 8 – man is lord over animals and fish, etc. Proverbs 12v10 – a good man is kind to his animals. Luke 12:6 God cares about sparrows. ‘Love thy neighbour’, ‘do not kill’ acceptable if in context,12. There is nothing wrong with experimenting on animals. Agree People made in God’s image / idea of dominion / at the top of the evolutionary chain / higher stage of samsara / humans more intelligent / more important / millions of people in real need because of hunger / poverty / disease / old age / disability, etc. and so should be looked after first / religious teachings showing the importance of humans. Other Views Humans in charge of creation – Genesis 1: 28 / both important as both created by God / world would be dull without animals / need them for food / work / should look after them as good stewardship / animals have rights as well as humans / interdependence / preventing extinction of species.
