why doesn't god heal wild animals that get sick, why does he let them die a painful death?

Update:

New International Version (©1984)

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

New Living Translation (©2007)

What is the price of two sparrows--one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.

the bible is WRONG yet again!!!

    Not just that, but he deliberately targets them for mass extinctions. Isn't there some story about a flood that wiped out all but two of every species? Was he unable or unwilling to divert that asteroid (supposedly created as part of the heavens) that wiped out the dinosaurs at the KT boundary?

    He'll never get RSPCA membership unless he accounts for all that.

    Exactly...... not like they did anything to deserve this original sin bollox! Look at some of the cold hearted answers from christians. One of them once told me that animals are like fluffy little robots here on earth to amuse us, lovely, all because of the buybull again!

    Well in the bible it clearly states were gods favorite out of all his creations (besides jesus) we took the most and where also made in his image. Animals also don't have souls (But that doesn't mean we cant love them) so god lets them dod what they do.

    Animals have tougher immune systems so when they get sick Its pretty much over survival of the fittest. In Genesis it also stated that Man was supposed to mend the earth and creatures on it so its not really gods problem its ours.

    Death is the natural order of ending life, for humans AND other animals alike. God does not put judgment values on it as you are doing. See things God's way - that life is what it is being, and there is no right or wrong to it.

    God gave us this earth to take care of it,,,we don't ,,,so now Does He has to be fixing all our problems??,,,,, if you see a animal that is sick ,its our duty to do something,,, not just look at heaven and wait for God to do something!

    For God sake! that's why Our Lord gave us some awesome brains,,,(at least to some of us)

    God was too busy ironing his underwear in heaven to notice.
