Do animals have souls?
And if not, why not?

In my religion, and in my experience, they do. I know it's not something I could prove to anyone who's already made up their mind, but I believe this is so.

If such a thing exists, I see no reason why they wouldn't have one.

If guilt (being able to judge one's behavior with respect to a moral code) is an indicator of the possession of a soul, then definitely yes.
You should only look at 'Gypsy' when I tell her "Bad dog"!

Yes, I believe they do. I also believe that they will be resurrected someday.

I am sure they do.
But I am not so sure this is church teaching, Though there were a number of Saints who had an affinity with animals and seemed to think so. I would go so far as to say all life has the equivalent of a soul that comes from and returns to God. Terry ____________________________ Amen! Truly I say to you: Gather in my name. I am with you.

I feel if man has a soul, than the animals do as well. However, if a soul is a man-made concept, than some can deny animals have a soul.
P.S. I don't have a soul.

I would say there is no way to prove it one way or the other it's just if you belive it or not, I however am not sure
