At Genesis 2:7 it says that God formed the man out of dust, blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and he BECAME a living soul. He became a soul..not given a soul. We often refer to people as souls. Example: We see a person having a rough time and we might say, "that poor soul."
Animals are souls too. Genesis 9:3,4, Leviticus 24:18 refer to animals as souls.
The spirit is the life force that keeps us alive. It's the breath of life. Job 27:3. So, yes, animals have a spirit too as long as they're living and breathing.

Yeah i think they do.The difference between humans and animals is that humans can show their knowledge by writing and speaking but animals can't. Animals can think,they can plan something,they can decide,they can feel also pain and ache and they die that's what make the difference between them and things.It's things that don't have souls or spirits cause they can't do all that they don't feel nothing they don't die,they don't think and all........So animals have spirits.

NO. They are body and soul (only limited intelligence, more instinct) Their life ends at death.
Now for mankind, we are body, soul and spirit. The spirit which is the real you is eternal, living on after the death of our bodies.

Yes we all do. All living things have souls and spirits. Why wouldn't they?

How do you prove that anything has a soul and/or spirit?

of course they have... -_-"
i mean... it depends on whether you believe in it though... if you believe that they have souls, they have but if you dont believe, then they dont...
but personally, i would say yes... for people who say that souls dont exist, then why do people even started and say that souls exist? there are too many things that science cant explain...

They may not have, what the bible calls a soul, but they have an essence, or aura. You can't see it, but you can see the lack of it in their eyes, at their death.
