But god made them, just like botulism, right?

Check this out:

Yes, I know it isn't botulism. (There I go changing the subject again!)
It's Trichinosis I'm mentioning here. However, there's something very
interesting about it. ALL the animals mentioned happen to be animals
that God told us NOT TO EAT. (See God's dietary laws in the Bible, also
known as clean and unclean meats. I believe the bear is in the UNclean
category.)

"Trichinosis is a parasitic disease that results from eating undercooked
meat, most frequently pork, which contains cysts of Trichinella
spiralis. T. spiralis can be found in pork, bear, fox, rat, horse and
lion meat."
