do all animals have souls?

[stilleto]

to me, its a stupid question, cause i don't believe anything has a soul. NOTHING. i think its a relatively meaningless word but.... people believe in it. its those same people who wouldn't hesitate to kill a spider or fish or hunt though. or eat steak. or wear leather.
so.... do all animals have souls?

 

[tiger88]

no


if u dont believe me ask curling

Soul is just an organic brain function. So they have about as much right to claim one as we do.

i can believe that "soul" is another word for "brain" and not much else.

[jackangel]

all animals have souls except for jellyfish because they have bowls.

 

[Raptorex]

nice boobs.

 

[big4life]

Yes, a soul to me is the ability to care for someone or something without any conditions. I have seen that in many different animals. Sometimes I think that animals know and understand more about having a "soul" than humans will ever know.

i will give you a real answer later.....

yes, but its a sea creature, so it has sole.

 

[StickFigure]

I believe animals have a soul but not a spirit, there is a difference. A soul is what gives life. Can't exhist wothout one.

When Barbara Walters interviewed the Dali Lama the other night he spoke of the need of humans to exercise compassion to make it to heaven. I was really interested in his logic.

He lost me when he said even dogs that are good can make it to heaven, bad dogs won't. So, I guess if a rotweiler puppy is adopted by a gang member and is kept on a short chain all day and feed hot sauce and turns out mean ... he'll never make it to heaven.

 

[BUBBLES]

I think humans, animals and plants have souls until they die.

 

[PolfaJelfa]

Stilleto doesent have a soul.. Just boobs

wrestly.
i think the grizzly might get off on that one...

anyway, i don't hunt but i like to fish- for the food, but i also find it relaxing. I don't feel like i'm killing a soul though, just fixing the fish population.

 

[PolfaJelfa]

Nothing wrong in killing an animal for food...aka hunting....i like to hunt. I believe they too have souls
