I heard countlessly from zealous JW, that before flood all animals were vegetarians, not killing and eating each other ... as it will be in Paradise again.
But was this ever published in a WTBS publications?
Do you have an idea?
Thanks.

Found this in the- June 15, 1901, The Watch Tower, page 193), or Reprint 2830
The fact that for beast and for fowl the Lord originally provided the same vegetarian diet, is in perfect accord with some of the prophetic statements which seem to imply that under the new conditions of the Kingdom even the lower animals will return to vegetable diet, when "The lion shall eat grass like the ox," and when "Nothing shall hurt or destroy in all God's holy mountain [kingdom]." ( Isa. 11:6 ,7; 65:25.) Thus we learn that the animals which at present are carnivorous (flesh-eaters) are not now in their original condition, but have been sharers with mankind in the results of the catastrophe which came upon our earth in the flood; likewise that they will be sharers with man, their king, in the great uplift which will come to him and to all nature when God's Kingdom, in the hands of the Sons of God, shall be established, and shall bless the groaning creation.-- Rom. 8:19-22 .
