That is just a part of nature. God the Heavenly Father does exist!!
Genesis 1:26-31
(KJ21, 21st Century King James Version)
26And God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." 27So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." 29And God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat"; and it was so. 31And God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
(ESV, English Standard Version)
26Then God said, "Let us make man[a] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 29And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so. 31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

as sasquatch's daughter,
the way many people are answering seems to be saying only the sinful die and that animals kill each-other because they dont have intelligence. everybody dies and newsflash, we're animals too genius! if death is so horrible to these people than why do those same people belive in heaven?if nothing ever had to kill anything can you imagian how overcrowded the world would be?life wouldnt feel as precious if it wasnt fragile and couldnt easily be taken away.Bad things happen but does that mean theres no good in the world? death is just hear to balance everything out.

Excellent philosophical question. But it does not mean that God does not exist. It only means that if God does exist, he she or it intends animals to kill other animals and that life isn't so precious that it shouldn't end.

Because the animal that made the kill realizes that his own life is precious.

The same reason that we kill each other. It's a fallen world. Sin entered the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. And no, sorry, no chance God doesn't exist.

Human life is precious, animals were put on this planet for a food source and for humans to care for.

Not at all. Death is the result of the fall of man. When sin entered the world, animals had to kill. Before sin, they didn't. That is why when death is done away by Christ, the lamb will lie down with the lion.

HUMAN life is precious..... but that's a worldly view anyway....
God put man in charge over animals, plants, and everything. He also told us to be good stewards... not too sure how that part is going....
