Although humans where made in the image of God (Gen 1:27)and are loved more than animals (Matt 6:26)animals dont cause the kind of misery and disaster than humans have caused.
First off, Adam and Eve and the whole Garden of Eden story does not even appear in the later creation myth found in Genesis 1. The GOD depicted in the earlier myth, the one found in Genesis 2 & 3 is entirely different than the one found in the later story, the story found in Genesis 1.
The story found in Genesis 1 is a far more sophisticated tale than what is found in the earlier story. It was likely created hundreds if not thousands of years later than the story in Genesis 2 & 3. In Genesis 1 we find a competent, efficient GOD who creates male and female at the same time and by the same methods, who is satisfied with his work and with what was produced. There is no hint of the earlier myth where God is a more human construct little different than what He creates, or of the Garden of Eden or the serpent or magic trees or fruits.
Two different stories, from two different peoples living in two different eras.
