It is easy to attempt to explain why humans suffer, but can you explain why animals must suffer? According to Christian theology, they do not possess immortal souls that will be judged, so Yahweh is certainly not allowing them to suffer as a means of testing their spirits. Also, no animals have taken part of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, so it seems unfair that they would share in the curses that Yahweh struck upon mankind in the Garden of Eden.Why do we suffer if God is Good and loves his people? The Book of Job has the answers. WHy don't you read it and see if you can find the answer.
