[Are animals damned?]

I guess so, since I have not idea what you're talking about.

 

[Are animals damned?]

I find the argument that 'a just God wouldn't allow human suffering' interesting when the animal kingdom is observed.  God created a very harsh world for animals, so why would there be an exception for humans?  Animal behavior is instinctual, with very few exceptions.  Thus, God created them to behave in a certain way in order to fulfill the measure of their creation.  If they obey God's rules, as it seems they do, I see nothing to prevent them from enjoying eternal progression just as humans do.
