I wonder if animals have souls.

I like fruit. I like vegetables. If I had more will-power, maybe I would become a vegetarian. I know innately that it's the decent thing to do. I wonder if there's a civilization somewhere in the cosmos where life is deemed so precious that all creatures are allowed to live. To exist together. In peace and harmony. Here on Earth, we are told that is not the natural way. I wonder if in Paradise, there are animals. Yes, I wonder if animals have souls. --Jim Broede
