16:66, 23:21 - Humans are "given" milk to drink from the bodies of cattle/livestock.
16:5, 16:80 - Animals and their skins, wool, fur, and hair were also "made for you" to use in homes and furnishings.
22:36 - Sacrificing animals is a symbolic ceremony and/or sign, so kill them while they are lined up and when they are down, feed of them and feed others with them. Animals are subjected to you, so that you might be grateful and/or magnify God.
36:71 - Cattle/livestock were "created for you" to be the masters/owners of them.I didn't notice any particular cooking recommendations, perhaps the Quran intends for us to eat the meat raw?
Non-human animals existed long before humans, so how can anyone think that any animal was created for our use? Or that we latecomers to life on Earth are somehow their masters?
We are not the calves of any animal, so animal milk is not for us to drink (our human mothers have breasts, why don't we milk them?).
Various textiles (animal and non-animal) have been created by humans since ancient times. It is absurd to claim that animals have skin and fur so humans could make a tent, pillow or blanket with it.
