Jesus Christ the Redeemer, the Good Shepherd represents His creation as well. For this reason at the end of the Book of Job we have this line, "Then said theLord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:/And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?"( Jonah 4:10-11) God's Salvation plan includes man after the likeness of Man and also his fellow creatures.
On one hand you have this verse, "And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth." They are delivered into the hands of man. On the other hand, "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things." (9:3). Man is of God is made wisdom unto us. (1 Co.1:30)
Eating meat is an indication of man's sinful nature. God's commandment is to be treated as the saying of Jesus on divorce, "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so."(Matt.19:8)
