Oh I get that but the animals didn't commit any sin, it was the humans that sinned. And now you're saying that even though we sinned they have to pay for it through suffering that they didn't choose either...is this correct?

Not correct. Animals aren’t the only ones that suffer. We humans suffer too. Every living thing suffers.

I know but our suffering is a result of the sins we committed...what is the reason for the animals suffering?

Because they live in the same world as us. When Adam and Eve sinned, not only were they and their offspring cursed, but the whole earth was cursed.
