The other carnivores, or the hunters, serve Man in two ways. Carnivores such as bears, wolves, big cats, etc., naturally limit the population growth of healthy herds and at the same time they help control bacterial and viral diseases. Carnivores moderate disease transmission either by eating the weaker or diseased prey animal, or by eating a diseased pest of that prey animal. Sharks, seals, crabs and other carnivorous fish serve the same purpose in the ocean. Thereby leaving more healthy herds for the consumption of Man. It’s a pretty nifty arrangement. imo
Yes, God’s plan includes all creatures.
