It's a matter of general purpose - like the question, if human beings have souls. So, if they have, all other creatures have one.

Consciousness, as understood by Vaishnavas, can never be produced by matter and anytime we perceive consiousness within matter we have to conclude that there is a soul present. Under this definition it is understood that animals also have souls. The body is compared to a covering over the light of the soul. The less evolved the body, the thicker the covering over the light of the soul, and thus the consciousness comes out differently based on the body. Once the soul attains the human form, there is the necessary intelligence required to understand God and reawaken our relationship with Him.

Pets are like children to us, but as far as pets having souls, or going to Heaven, the Bible does not support that.

MY inferiority complex isn't as good as YOURS

Puggy she didn't ask what the BIBLE said about animals having souls,she asked what WE think.Personally,I believe animals have souls.I believe they think,feel and communicate amongst themselves just like humans and they're not destroying each other like we are.
