Well, yes, but if animals are intended to be et, then any survival instinct they have that would cause them to run away would interfer with their Godly purpose. If animals were intended by God to be et, then their behaviour is poorly designed.

It was not so much a real question as it was pointing out faulty logic. Of course no animal's purpose is to be eaten by a different species of animal.

Well, I know that people eat all kinds of animals but if you think about it.

Beef and Chicken are the highest ones being consumed.

Cow just stands still and doesn't do much so it's easier to catch and therefore eat.

I know people eat horse but horse isn't as high in consumption because they are harder to get down to catch and eat. Wild Stallions will fight you to the death and run away.

animals are meant to be poorly designed because they are inferior creatures compared to us humans which is made in God's image and likeness.
also, let me correct you that aside from the fact that animals are made for humans, some animals are made or meant to be eaten by those animals that are made for humans. for instance, God made worms to be eaten by chickens, then chickens be eaten by humans. chickens are made for humans. worms are made for chickens.

He has a point but I will go a more scientific route with it.

It's called a bloody food chain for a reason.

I don't know why people feel like they have to attach emotions to a stupid cow that stands up while sleeping and won't move when someone is coming to attack them.

No those animals that we eat are not on the same level us humans.

there are domesticated horses, like ponies and such

What kind of cows do you have up north? Have you ever tried to catch a cow? Ill bet my paycheck that you could'nt run one down on horseback much less attack one yourself. Ive been around cows all my life dude and they do know when they are being attacked. They may not know they are being bred and pastured all their lives to eventually be slaughtered, but thats not exzactly the same thing.
