God loves and cares for creation and has the right to expect this loving care be replicated by humans. Creation exists, not for the glory of humanity, but for the glory of God. God has the right to see that earthly creatures are free to live according to their nature and without unnecessary abuse, exploitation, and pain, so that their lives can glorify their Creator.…[S]ince God values and cares for all creation, creation has a derived right to be valued and cared for by humans for God’s glory. Richard A. Young
About This Quote

Humans have the right to care for creation. All living beings on earth exist as a result of creation. They do not exist for the benefit of humans and should not be harmed, abused, or exploited. The purpose of creation is to provide joy and beauty for humans and other creatures. It is only right that we care for them and protect their right to live in peace and harmony with us.
