Do pets have souls?
Do pets go to heaven when they die?

C.S Lewis and his ‘the problem of pain’ believes they do.

My answer would be, I don’t know, no one does really.

nice question /// there are spirits of both domestic and wild animals. if they do not have spirits, they are just a bunch of meat and bone. ie soil. //// but we do not know the human spirit. a different soul. /// If there is no soul, we are merely an unconscious element. ie soil.

Yes, they have a soul, but not all.
I only have one adopted cat, I love so much. My dog died and I thought I will never have another pet because I hurt too much over the loss of my fluffy Pooch. But now I’m happy again.

Tricky question for an atheist like me, but one thing is for sure. Pets have strong feelings and should be valued the same way, human beings are valued.

Animals are valued by many and some are great pets, however, they are not equal to a human life.

I hope, you don't mind. But to me they are. It is just the sum of experiences, I made so far with both animals and humans

Animals do not have feelings like human beings. but they feel it when the animals are upset. when we love them they realize it. /// there are important lessons for us in the characters of animals: the dependence of a dog on the owner ... the diligence of an ant ... a falcon in the sky ... the sympathetic stance of a goad ... the calm of a tortoise ))) ... like...
