Man’s dominion

Tue., May 21, 2019

Much has been written about the wolves in our area that kill farm animals and destroy the farmer’s livelihood. In addition, many words have been said about this problem. My answer to this problem is to kill all the wolves except save a few to keep in the zoos. We do not want them to go extinct.

In the Holy Bible we read that God said in Genesis 1:26, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

Can it be that because of the bad thinking of man the wolves are now getting dominion over man?
