So does this mean that killing animals is not suggested by Jesus? If it is so then why we are killing cows and other pets. Is it because its not written clearly that don't kill cows and other pets? We really need to be sensitive towards other animals too and try to increase our mode of goodness from our mode of passion or ignorance.
