Age old question: Do you believe Animals have souls?

hmmm.?

Well, I think a lot of them do. I have no doubt that dogs have a soul....they each have their own individual preferences and such.

I think a lot of other animals do too, but I can't really say since dogs are the only animals I live with.

No. I don't even think people have souls.

"No. I don't even think people have souls."

Yes...

you can call it a soul, a spirit, or whatever you want...

i have firm beliefs that every living thing has it's own spirit and is connected to the earth as a whole, tying it's spirit into a balance with nature.

wether that is animals, humans, trees... whatever... they're all part of the same system

I am with Methos on this humans are just another part of the chain nothing more special about us then the rest.

I sure hope so; I want to see my cat again.

I wish animals had souls so eating them would allow you to gain their powers... their rich, tasty powers."

why would having a soul make murder harder or easier?

it's not as if it's optional lol

True Midnightist, but im anti killing people so..

"True Midnightist, but im anti killing people so.."

Yep!

I believe that all animals have souls ^_^

  Well, a "soul" is a pretty abstract term that means different things to different people.  I'm not sure what it means to me or if animals have them or not.  We, however, are animals.  I do believe that, and believe that anyone who doesn't is just trying to make themselves feel more "special" than they really are and are dumb enough to be able to lie to themselves.  Sorry, guys.  Just being honest.  Feel free to tell me how you feel about me.  I won't get upset.  If we have "souls", so do animals.

If humans do then animals do.

I hope so, I love my puppies.

Someday you will all see that I am right.

animals are living things so of course they have souls

and animals go to heaven cuz they don't really do things that would send them to hell in the first place
