... Actually, I was serious. I'm not Jewish and am very interested in other faiths. My question was intentional. YS made it sound as if the animal *itself* would be punished if it were to be neutered or spayed. I'm just trying to understand. Really! ---------- Oh! No, the animal would not be punished. In Judaism, God only judges people. On the other hand, I read in Leviticus that in the case of the abomination of sexual relations between a human and an animal, the human is condemned to death, and so is the animal. I understand that this isn't God judging the animal and condemning it, but nonetheless it always struck me as unfair to a creature who is not capable of understanding the law. Peace, Paul |

Have you ever heard of the Kabbalah?
Tom "Cat Protector" wrote in message news:Foa4c.1524$wg.184@okepread01... I have a belief in the metaphysical despite being Jewish. I believe cats have souls and spend much time on the astral plane. I am sure this ys person will probably say Jews are not allowed to be metaphysical and that is a sin to believe cats have souls. Good thing I was born Reform because many of us don't follow the rules of Jewish law. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "kilikini" wrote in message ... I thought that all animals were pure by nature. How can an animal get *better* in the eyes of the spirit world, because their owner loves them? I don't understand. kilikini |

In both cases, the torah commandment is for humans to kill the animal. This is quite different from the animals' being the recipient of post-death divine retribution from God, which I believe was the other poster's question. Best regards, ---Cindy S. |
