A number of critics of theism have argued that the existence of God is incompatible with the suffering experienced by non-human animals. These arguments generally assume what many take to be non-controversial: that non-human animals experience suffering. In my 2008 book, Nature Red in Tooth and Claw, I argue that this assumption proves harder to justify than many claim it to be. That argument has been the target of numerous responses. Here, I respond to these critics, arguing that these responses fail.
