Animals do not have a spiritual nature and do not continue existence beyond this life on earth.
********************************
130:2.8 That afternoon Jesus and Ganid had both enjoyed playing with a very intelligent shepherd dog, and Ganid wanted to know whether the dog had a soul, whether it had a will, and in response to his questions Jesus said: "The dog has a mind which can know material man, his master, but cannot know God, who is spirit; therefore the dog does not possess a spiritual nature and cannot enjoy a spiritual experience. The dog may have a will derived from nature and augmented by training, but such a power of mind is not a spiritual force, neither is it comparable to the human will, inasmuch as it is not reflective -- it is not the result of discriminating higher and moral meanings or choosing spiritual and eternal values. It is the possession of such powers of spiritual discrimination and truth choosing that makes mortal man a moral being, a creature endowed with the attributes of spiritual responsibility and the potential of eternal survival." Jesus went on to explain that it is the absence of such mental powers in the animal which makes it forever impossible for the animal world to develop language in time or to experience anything equivalent to personality survival in eternity. As a result of this day's instruction Ganid never again entertained belief in the transmigration of the souls of men into the bodies of animals.

There is actually a 'Heaven Zoo' and a 'Heaven Ark'. Once the Ark is filled with 2,000,000 of each animal and insect, the rest then go on into the zoo. Obviously, they are both very big, and so there are a lot of zoo-keepers in this life who find themselves very busy in the next! The zoo and ark are two of the major attractions up in heaven, and it is widely thought amongst scholars that every animal vastly outnumbers the humans as there has never been an evil animal. Oh, and by the way, all animals do have souls.

Monkeys have no spiritual awareness, which would be evident if they built altars - rudimentary ones - perhaps by simply wedging a stick into the ground and laying fruit or some other type of sacrifice beside it. Monkeys, as far as I'm aware, do not do anything even remorely like this.
Their lack of spiritual awareness means that they are not under compulsion to learn about God and do his will.

I think that heaven could end up a little dull if there are only people and no animals. I hope they make it in. Apparently there won't be any Harry Potter or aggresive sports so I'm debating whether I want to go or not at the moment.

Isn't heaven paradise, so that would mean it depends on what you think as paradise, if you think paradise as a large open jungle with monkeys running around, then no, monkeys will have the same heaven. It all depends on your perspective of heaven.

No monkeys do not. The great apes (chimpanzees and gorillas) though that is a different story.
And contrary to popular belief you are allowed one and only one deceased pet. It is preferred that you bring a cat or dog but I suppose you could bring a spider monkey or squirrel monkey if you had one as a pet.

The Bible says that God created man in his own image and breathed the breath of life into him. About 80% of scholars believe that that is in reference to a soul. Animals (any of them) do not have souls. As sad as it sounds while animals can mimic things learn things even understand and comprehend things, they don't even come close to the complexity of Humans. As much as everyone would like to believe in evolution this is one of the main reasons that evolution cannot be correct. Not only physical features would have to change but spiritual features also. Since they do not and cannot have souls, they do not go to heaven. They simply cease to exist.

I hope not. I don't want to go to people heaven if I can't hang out with monkeys in the after life.

I love monkeys. They should have a separate heaven. By the way humans share a large percentage of DNA make up as bananas. I ask you... Do Bananas have a heaven?....Do they?....DO THEY?

Bannas also make up a large portion of our genes, but I seriously doubt that either will be in heaven. I hope you find God's love so you will be.
