'Thou shalt not kill' does not apply to murder of one's own kind only, but to all living beings; and this Commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai. It's clear that our Creator doesn't condone cruelty to animals in any way. 'Thou shalt not kill' could have been written 'Thou shalt not kill thy fellow man.' Instead, it was all inclusive, highlighting the sanctity of life no matter what the species.

Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased, nor is it etched in stone, for stone can be broken. But, it is inscribed on a heart—and there it shall remain forever
