Animals In The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints




All Presidents of the Church, from Joseph Smith and Brigham Young to the present, have taught that animals are to be treated with kindness and respect, and that hunting for "sport" is wrong. The Doctrine And Covenants teaches that animal flesh should be eaten only in times of winter or famine.

Latter-day Saints also teach that animals will be called to testify in the Judgment of humans, as to how humans treated them.
