I do not believe that the creator and sustainer of the Universe displays anger at certain animals on a small speck of material in His Universe..

According to Genesis, Elohim saw that our creation was “very good”.

The Lord does not display anger from His perspective. To Him it is righteous judgment. And, of course, He is correct. To us it is anger and fury. While scripture sometimes talks about "God's anger" or God's wrath...", it is given in terms that we best understand. Thus, when Christ threw the money changers out of the temple (twice), He was displaying righteous judgment but we would say it was an angry reaction.

It isn't any different than a parent correcting a child. While the child might think the punishment is too severe or unfair, a wise parent knows different.
