Animals death?

Jehovahs witnesses say that adam and eves sin brought ageing, sickness and death to mankind but animals die also just like humans do. why is that? do jw's believe that animals also 'disobeyed' God in the garden of eden also?

JH

I guess that animals did die even before Adam and Eve sinned. Just humans could live eternally. And after Adam and Eve sinned, they became mortal.

but how could paradise be a perfect world if the 'perfect humans' in it have to bury the corpses of dead animals.

JH

Well, even in the new system preached by the JW's, animals will keep on dying. Jesus died for us "humans". I'm sure animals will benefit from the new system too.

But I don't know what animals will eat in the new system, if they don't eat one another anymore...

another thing that doesnt make sense. jesus died for us "humans". as God is meant to be a perfect all powerful creator he knows the future. why would God send 'his son' to save humanity knowing that mankind was going to live in a world of pedofiles, murderers, rapists, drug abuse, etc..

JH

Well, in the new system there won't be anymore of these people

I Cor 6:9

What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, 10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom.

JH

Now why am I reasoning like a good JW?

Humans wouldn't have to bury all the corpses. In nature nothing is wasted. Jehovah has constructed a very intricate food chain to help with the disposal of dead or unfit animals.

true they wouldnt have to bury all the corpses but the fact that they would have to bury some of the corpses make jehovahs witnesses idea of there being 'a perfect world' seem ridiculous and not in line with reality.
