Genesis 9:5
Douay-Rheims
For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man.
Francis Patrick Kenrick

Although it is exempt from guilt, for the want of free will, It is doomed to death, that so the life of man may be held to be sacred. Sec Exod. 21 : 28. God does not pledge Himself to execute this judgment miraculously ; but He marks out the animal for death.
