    Runningman....You know, that was viewed as a problem in post-exilic Judaism, troubled as they were that the flood killed animal life as well as people. What did the animals ever do wrong? So they solved the problem by saying: THE ANIMALS SINNED TOO!

    "And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks the earth -- all of them corrupted their ways and their orders....And afterwards they sinned against beasts and birds and everything that moves or walks upon the earth." (Jubilees 5:2, 7:24)
    "These giants consumed the produce of all the people until the people detested feeding them. So the giants turned against the people in order to eat them. And they began to sin with birds, wild beasts, reptiles, and fish. And their flesh was devoured the one by the other, and they drank blood. And then the earth brought an accusation against the oppressors." (1 Enoch 7:3-6)
    "The generation of Noah was plunged into wantoness and used to have sexual relations with those who were not of their kind....And even the animals were so corrupted with those not of their species, horse with donkey and donkey with horse and snake with bird, as it says, 'For all flesh has gone astrary...' [Genesis 6:12]. It does not say 'all humans' but 'all flesh,' therefore he destroyed all of creation which was on the face of the earth, from man to beast." (Midrash Tanhuma, Noah 12)

    I won't ask the question of why animals drink blood today and that hasn't brought judgment on the earth.
