Then make that zero. The Catholic Church does indeed see animals with souls. Not only that, but plants too!

I believe animals have souls the same as people, and are here to learn as well. I also believe the souls of man and animal are the same, and can live on this earth as man or beast.

Man is, however, negligent of this reality and imagines that sensibility is 374 peculiar to mankind,

I am curious as to what the "374 peculiar" means.

Of course we can eat them, it's natural for us to. I'd prefer the animal to have have been in a field eating it's natural food and kept in a nice environment, instead of being stuck in a cage and fed swill, corn etc.

I agree with this 100% ( chicken.p you said something good for once ) any one that harms an aminal should be shot...wildlife keeps the balance of things and without it we would die. we are destorying there homes and our home (the earth) we can live in harmony with animals, it's just finding that balance. animals have sptirts like we do, they also have personalitys, and emotions like we do. they can also communicate to us in ways many ways(thruogh enrgy and mind etc.).
