Do animals have a Soul? Yes, every animal rather every living being has a Soul. Before we delve further into the existence of soul we need to understand the origin of the cosmic system in its entirety.
The whole cosmos starts with a big bang and all the Atmans (Souls) in the Cosmos get scattered all over the cosmos. These Souls do not have the power within to purify themselves and comeback to their original state. They need a body to do that. Hence every Atman the soul within waits for a suitable body that it can manifest and start on its cosmic journey.
And this cosmic journey of 8.4 Million manifestations and 96.4 Million earthly years is required to be undergone by our soul the atman within before it can come back to its pristine glory. The moment the Atman the soul within gains its cosmic glory... we state the Atman soul to have gained immortality... it has now become free from the cycle of manifestations... this is the stage of salvation as we call it in Buddhism and Christianity, known as moksha in Hinduism.
The cosmic journey that an Atman soul undertakes starts with the body of an amoeba (single cell formation)... Which is the first stage in the Life of our Atman the soul within. As Life proceeds by this single cell formation evolutes into a multi-cell formation, then insect Life, next as a plant, an animal and finally as a Human Being.
By the time this Atman the soul within takes the body of a Human Being for the first time... our Atman the soul within has already crossed the barrier of 7.3 Million manifestations... a long journey indeed! So as to say that all animals, plants, insects and all single and multi-cell formations are our brethren of the yester years.
Considering our stage in present Life if taken as 18 years... we can only mentally recollect what we were at the age of six years. As a Human Being if we look back then this six years of age is the stage when we may have manifested as a plant. Say 12 years can be stated as the age when we took the form of an animal.

Hm. i ask your self why someone might want to downrate an answer because they disagree with it. i'm quite effective the question requested for reviews, there is quite no reason to downrate each man or woman. i'm a Christian, so my address animals and souls is from a Christian perspective. so a procedures as i'm in contact animals do have souls, or in the experience that they don't they nonetheless percentage an section in God's heart as loved creations. Many places contained in the Bible advise that animals have souls or that they have got an afterlife. The e book of Revelation cites that animals will comprehend Jesus and praise God. The e book of Psalms cites that animals will percentage an section in God's everlasting kingdom. The Bible would not come out and explicitly state even if or not they do or do no longer have souls, although i'd have purely as actual neglected it if it does. yet many animals--dogs, dolphins, whales, gorillas--are absolutely sensible right down to medical incontrovertible fact that porpoises and whales communicate with the aid of easily language, dogs can understand and carry out truly complicated projects and recommendations, and gorillas might want to study rudimentary signal language. is this evidence of a soul? To me that is. To me the soul defines our self-knowledge and knowledge. no longer all creatures look self conscious yet that is not any longer to assert they are not, technological information purely has yet to tutor even if or not they're. convinced, i imagine my dogs has a soul.

Animals don't have a soul the way we understand it, but I do believe their energy survives death and is with us, if we want it, in heaven after our death.
