Fellow Vegetarians/Vegans: Do you believe animals have souls?!
This is just a general question that I am curious about, if anyone else feels the same way as me!. I can't help but believe animals have souls!. I lost my cat of 14 years to cancer, Stanley, on 2-13-09, and I know in my heart every day I will get to see him again!. When he was alive, he felt nothing less of a person to me, and that is why I believe he has a soul and went somewhere!.!.!.
I recently became Vegetarian, trying to go Vegan, about a month ago!. Mainly for the animals, but also for my health!. Does anyone else out there also believe that all animals have a soul, or ''life force''!?
Thank you in advance for your answers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Jesus tells us that God knows when the smallest of sparrows falls to the ground!. If the bird didn't have a soul, why would it concern him!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think people's answer to this will depend on what they believe about human souls!. The idea of a soul isn't something I ever think about, and I certainly don't think about concepts like heaven and afterlife!.
So I may not think about animals' "souls," but I do think they are conscious, sentient, emotional beings!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Animals are the face of innocents!.
Most only kill because they need to!.
Most only hurt because they are trained to or they are scared!.
How could I love a god who does not give them a soul!?
Point proven, Yes, animals have souls and yes, God gave them souls!.
Not here to get in a religion debate, just giving my opinion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

and no i'm not fighting with anyone!.!.!. especially those who are souless!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I believe they do!. I don't have any great philosophical or otherwise proof, because frankly I admit you can't even prove humans have souls!. It is my personal belief that humans and animals have souls and both will be found in heaven!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Very difficult question to answer!.!.!. Excuse my vagueness, but I could neither say yes or no!. Only that somewhere in this universe may lay a spiritual realm!. However it exists, perhaps animals connect with it the same as humans do!.

I don't believe that people have souls (except metaphorically), so how can I believe that animals have them!? When you're dead, you're dead, so enjoy life while you have it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Animals have a soul(Nefesh)!. People have a soul and a spirit(Neshama)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If humans have souls, animals do too!.
I think of the soul as the consciousness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Absolutely! And I do not understand anyone who says otherwise!Www@FoodAQ@Com
animals, nor people have soulsWww@FoodAQ@Com
My dog has a soul!. He is so precious!Www@FoodAQ@Com
i believe they do have souls, although they are simple minded creatures, they dont not hold grudges or really "hate" anything, so their after life has very little effect here in the real world where as humans are stubburn little creatures, animals they live their life as intended, to survive as long as they can, and deep down inside i know my little kitten is with me, i always felt him near me when he died, he knew i tried my best to save him which is why he is with me everyday to look after me just as i looked after him, those who believe in it, believe in it, those who dont, dont, its all about what you believe inside, and what makes you feel betterWww@FoodAQ@Com
