Balaam and his donkey are an example of God intervening in our cruelty to animals. Christians were at the forefront of bringing attention to cruelty to animals in the 1800s, Legislations about cruelty to animals came BEFORE legislation about cruelty to children! I wonder how the gospel has good news in our interactions with animals today.
