Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and
those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.
I think that the word "those" could be applied to all sentient beings.
Remembering God's farmed animals, who are prisoners in farms and factory
farms and who suffer and die needlessly, should prompt us to choose a
compassionate and sustainable diet. Only then we will bring healing and
reconciliation to God's Creation.
Farmed animals are our prisoners. They cannot escape suffering and death in
our hands. They are ill-treated on a daily basis, unable to even express
their most basic God-given instincts and drives. When they suffer, we
suffer. We reap what we sow.text
