we are just another animal with a complex brain... there really is no difference between us and the rest of this planet... including animals, plants, insects, fish, algae, moss, fungus, etc etc etc. The only provable difference is that we have more complex brains. We should not assume that if souls exist, humans are the only ones who have them.If souls exist, i think everything alive must have one, cause all life is the same at the most basic level. Why do we play favorites?

Personaly, I feel that some animals have more soul than some humans.

I beleive that any living thing that can feel emotions, (love, hate, happiness, anger, joy, saddness, etc.) has a soul.  weather it's good or bad is its decision.

I can't look at any animal in the eye and not feel a soul inside of them.

Thats interesting! Thanks for sharing your opinion :)

I think they do have souls.

[JAMMAN1701]

But why do you think they have souls?

[afroschlan]

Counter question: What is a soul, where is it located, what is it made of, what is it's function and do we all have it?

[alexross8]

Biblically speaking , there are verses that prove that animals have souls . such as Revelation 5:8-13 .

They not only have souls , but they know that Christ is their savior. Those are some words of comfort for fellow Christians.

conclusion: souls do not exist, and therefore animals (including hulans) do not have a soul.

[S0NYSUX]

since humans are in fact animals, the question can be transformed into: do souls exist?

humans feel "special" and "superior" to other animals because they are more intelligent/advanced. but that's it. we just happen to be more intelligent, so if we had a soul, other animals would too.

Souls are a concept invented by humans because they are afraid of death. so they came up with something that made them confortable: death is not the end because we have a soul that lives on after our body has died

Asking whether or not "animals" have souls implies that the asker presumes two things by default:

-humans are NOT animals

-humans have souls

I'm not entirely sure because sometimes, I don't know if humans have souls. There are abstract feelings you can't always pin with your finger, so when you feel that from an animal in which the relationship is not governed by rules or vocabulary, it's definitely something special. I believe everything is born innately good, but some things have more of a soul than others. I think a measure of a soul is something you have to earn throughout your life.
