 It's not quite the same as with humans because humans are created in the image of God. But even animals know that this world is not the way it's supposed to be. The whole creation knows this world is not the way it's supposed to be. And so St. Paul says the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. And he goes on, we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.
