The Bible commands Christians to be faithful stewards of God’s creation (Genesis 2:15). Supporting zoos and aquariums presents an ethical dilemma, as it balances the benefit of education and conservation against the ethical concern of animal confinement. Christians should ethically support institutions that prioritize animal welfare, species preservation, research, and rehabilitation and strongly oppose any facility that treats animals merely as objects for human entertainment, resulting in distress or cruel confinement. Support should be conditional, driven by the goal of good stewardship and promoting human understanding of God’s marvelous creation.

The Bible encourages wisdom, good stewardship, and compassionate care for both humanity and the environment (Genesis 2:15). Lab-grown meat (or cultivated meat) is a scientific innovation that presents an ethical opportunity for Christians to address significant problems associated with industrial animal agriculture, such as animal suffering, resource depletion, and high environmental impact. Supporting cultivated meat is ethically sound if it is pursued with integrity, transparency, and a focus on long-term sustainability and global food security, viewing it as a tool to fulfill the stewardship mandate more effectively.

The Bible grants humanity permission to eat meat (Genesis 9:3), confirming it is not inherently sinful. However, Christian ethics requires that we evaluate our diet through the lens of stewardship, justice, and love for our neighbor. Since large-scale meat production (especially industrial farming) has significant environmental costs (land use, greenhouse gases) and can involve ethical issues of animal welfare, the Christian is called to make intentional and sustainable dietary choices. This often means reducing consumption, sourcing meat ethically, and avoiding waste, rather than adopting universal vegetarianism as a moral command.
