According to the Book of Genesis, God once sent a flood that killed all the land animals on the earth except for a tiny percentage that survived on Noah's boat. These were the same animals that he himself had created, and they had behaved according to the natures he had given them. Despite this, he decided to kill them.
I hope that nobody is dumb enough to think that God had to kill these animals in order to kill human beings. Someone with God's powers could have easily found a way to kill the humans without killing these animals too.
So why did he kill them?

"God's" favorite pasttime was killing. It did not matter if it was animals, men, women, children, or little babies. When "he" was not killing (or threatening to kill) "he" worried about circumcision.

To kill human beings.
Human beings are superior to animals so animals don't matter, I guess.
The Flood myth is common, and not thought through very well.
It just makes God out to be an asshole.

I believe the story of Le deluge to be metaphorical not literal so I do believe that no animals were harmed in the making of this story.
