“God blessed them and said to them, “… Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground”. Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground – everything that has the breath of life in it – I give every green plant for food. And it was so.”
— Genesis 1:28-30
God said to rule over the animals and take care of them. They can't take care of themselves. No where did he say slaughter them and eat them. He didn't say to enslave them, but to rule over them. Sadly, we ignore his words.
Where did we go wrong? Come on Christians! His words are clear and to the point. They don't need translating. It is pretty straight forward. Any questions?
