What does this mean? Mark 16:15?

From the KJV bible: 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

If the KJV is the literal and most accurate word of God, why do believers not preach to animals in zoos, farms, etc? If "creature" means "people" then why doesn't this version simply say so, and why would some people insist its the only correct translation?

The Strongs concordinance define it as
After a rabbinical usage (by which a man converted from idolatry to Judaism was called)

2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

In other words, you aint your old self anymore! You are a new creature!

King James was a very Catholic man that was trying to keep the fist five English translations of the Bible out of England. He claimed, as the catholic church still dose "not to read the Bible unless you are a catholic priest". Very lazy! And tons of false beliefs added.
With the invention of the printing Press people could read/see that what the catholic church was teaching was FAR from truth!
King James ordered 400 words changed in his bible to very different words, so the readers would NOT know what the words/lines really meant. Times each used-word. Like it has "unicorn" in it in six places. Do you think "unicorn"s are real? It has "monster"s also,...
Then in 1947 in Israel caves were found with ALL of the Bible in them and the Oldest of them ever found. They even said they had been put in there about 200 A.D. With these found, it was also discovered that man's writing the Bible over and over and Not looking to see if they did it right IS all Wrong! Some places whole lines are added or missing! And then there are 1,200 more words (times each used) that have been slang over the past 400 years! So the word in the King James Bible from then, means nothing close to what the word means today!
If you want a correct, up to date Bible, get a modern one translated from the correct writings found in the Caves in Israel. Like the NIV or The New Living Translation.
The reason most people want to use the KJB is they think if they do NOT konw what it means they do not have to obey the Bible. Their way of disobeying the Bible.

clones, hibrids gmo's. when this genetic modified organisms look almost human, and we don't know what they are, if they have a soul to be saved or not, Mark 16:15 tells us to preach the gospel to evrey creature. And this times are at hand, as a matter of fact it's happening now. So we preach the Gospel not to birds and worms but to creatures wich look confusing like humans, only God knows if they havbe a redemable soul. Luke 21:11 said:<And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.> In original< fearful Creatures> It's posible that with all this experiments in the biological labs, this ferful creatures to be created and release. In fact the cloned Dolly sheeb was created after almost 300 unsuccesful trials. Only the scientists involved know how the monster they created look like. So when they extend this to cloning man, frightful creatures wil apear but we have to tell them the good news.
