Does god punish animals?

Question

does god punish animals like he does man? make our punishment passed down through generations?

Genesis 3:14
14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this,
"Cursed are you above all the livestock
and all the wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.

obviously the snake had legs before it tempted eve to eat the apple. how come from then on, all snakes crawl on their belly? how come god made this punishment pass down through generations? is that fair to the snake?

and does that mean having a pet snake is like having a pet satan?

Answer 1

All of creation is suffering from the results of man's sins.

I am not sure what the curse on Satan did (or does) to him, but I would not think that having a snake is like having a pet Satan.
