Serpents and swine are not particularly favored.

No cursed ones or holy ones. Just ones in the Old Testament system that may or may not be eaten by the Jews or offered at the Temple. God alone knew why He told them not to eat certain animals, but it could have been at least partly to save the life of the people of Israel, as the ones that are forbidden were disease carriers in the main.

The Bible does not mention holy animals, but there are many animals that make good pets. On the contrary of the words evil and cursed, the serpent ranks on top. It is more crafty and cunning than any other wild animal. It is no surprise why it crawls on its belly, while eating dust all the days of its life. (Genesis 3:14) If you meant to ask, which animals are forbidden to eat? That's at your own risk. (Matthew 15:11)

No... Animals operate on instinct, built into them by Jehovah...they have no concept of spirituality. And so cannot be blamed for being good or bad. As in elephants, there does show some maternal instinct, where the mother protects her calf...as well as all the related ' aunts'... But if she loses a calf to a lion, will after a few days just wander off and continue her ' life';,,, If a bear attacks and kills a man, it is not doing it out of malice, but just for food. Same with a white pointer shark... In scripture, a snake or serpent is used as an example [ but only because most people are cautious of their poison bite... Jehovah could Just as easily have used the funnel web spider...but snakes are more familiar worldwide. (Exodus 4:3) He said:
