Jesus and the Animals

The Essene scriptures, which are separate from the books of the Bible, illustrate Yeshua’s (or Jesus’s) love and compassion for animals in many stories. In one parable, Jesus gives a small kitten food and drink. He asked His disciple to take care of the kitten. In the Essene scriptures, Jesus gives the Holy Humane Law from God. One of the Holy Humane Laws is vegetarianism, which Jesus stated as :“Ye shall not eat the flesh, nor drink the blood of any slaughtered creature, nor yet anything which bringeth disorder to your health or senses.”
