The world was perfect ("God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."
[Gen 1:31]). This was before sin entered the world (the eating from the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil). His creation (animals included) was
perfect, before sin. So, what happened then is sin entered into the _world_,
not just into humanity alone. This could be looked at as a reason for all
the earthquakes, floods and whatnot that goes on in our world today, and of
course why living things eventually perish.
