Why did God create animals and the incredible suffering they face in the animal kingdom?

God created animals for humans to domesticate and rule over God doesn't make them suffer humans do

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

All gods are myths, we all evolved to be the way we are.

They exist so the evil dead people can possess them .

devil made all the suffering down here..NOT GOD...so now you are not confused..

Where's the evidence that a god created anything?

how can you prove that they are in pain? Are you an animal? Have you gone through the mind of an animal? Humans die every day and you care less about human lives but you stupidly know that animals are in pain. do you live int he animal kingdom?

you eat meat, wear furs, use leather made from fat, eat cheese, eat fish, use wood and furniture (taken from the animal habitat) and you are here talking about animal pains. Your current accommodation was once home to an animal but you displaced them and took over the land.

hypocrite!

A lot of people are in terrible pain, too, idiot.

Humans claim "dominion" over animals, and therefore treat them horribly and with utter disrespect. Which is killing our planet. We've killed half of all life above the sea is our short time.

Where I am from they would call you, I will use Sunday language, a wuss.
