Tag: judaism and hunting

The commenter stated that hunting for sport is not allowed in Judaism because it violates the commandment of tza'ar ba'alei chayim, the prohibition against unnecessary cruelty to animals, about which I’ve written before. It turns out that the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, whose interpretation of Judaism isn’t generally progressive, does come down on what I’d consider the enlightened side of the animal rights issue.
