I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'm serious.
Is there any mention in the Bible about what happens to animals souls after they die?

Okay, I should have known you wouldn't have the maturity to take me seriously.
As long as they have souls, something must happen to them. So I'd say the fact that I'm wondering instead of kidding around uselessly proves I'm more reasonable than you.

Lol. You are ridiculous, people. How could animals NOT have souls? Just because their brain capacity doesn't allow them to be responsible for their actions, it doesn't mean they don't have a soul.
They don't perceive things the same way humans do, but they do feel...

I think they are with us always in spirit. If we all go to heaven when we die, our beloved pets will be there along with our family. Yes.
Peace!

Men and Woman see in animals part of God’s generous provision for human welfare. Animals have served man as burden bearers, as sources of food and clothing, as sanitation agents, and as helpers in the vital activities of plowing and harvesting. Their variety of form and color has delighted his eye; their habits and instincts have been and still are an extensive field for inquiry into the marvels of God’s creative work. Though animals die in the same manner as man, they do not share his hope of a resurrection.
Animals were created with a limited life span, humans had the prospect of living on earth forever. ( Psalm 37:29) Jesus Christ said that to enjoy “everlasting life,” we must exercise faith and take in knowledge of God, things that animals are incapable of doing. (John 17:3)
God created animals for the sake of humans. Animals can help them do their work and can serve as their companions or pets. They also serve to magnify God’s love and wisdom.
The Creator gave life to both humans and animals. But for how long were they to continue to live? Scientists report that humans seem to have the potential of endless life, so that investigators are perplexed as to why man dies. The Bible gives the reason. It says that the Creator gave the first humans the opportunity of living forever. Death came only because they rebelled. (Gen. 2:17; 3:17-19) What, though, of animals? They are not capable of conscious rebellion against God; yet they live only for a length of time and then die. Hence, it is clear that the Creator never purposed that individual animals live forever. For them death was natural..

OK, so I don't believe in heaven and hell, but for all of these people to believe that animals aren't as good as us is so unbelievably stupid. Consider a dog... We have all the same organs and feelings as they do, basically. Are some humans so arrogant to think that animals, who usually are better than people, don't have souls?

Revelation 19...Jesus returns on a white horse.That horse came from where?
Some people like to quote Ecclessiastes,where it says "The soul of the animal goes down but mans goes up".
but remember that was the words of a cynical man trying to find the answer to life.Not the teaching of God.

There's a passage in the Bible (sorry, I can't remember which) that tells us not to be anxious about anything. As an example it says "look at the birds of the air, they neither toil nor reap but the heavenly Father feeds them". So if Gods looks after them, they must be just as entitled to a place in heaven. God created them as well, after all.

There is no mention that any animal has a soul. I suppose that it is possible, but I assume nothing that is not said in the BIBLE to be true without HIS WORD on it. We do nothing without GOD's approval in our Church. We are told that Man was made "in HIS Image" which I believe means that we have a soul. There are fifty-five other references to a soul in the King James BIBLE.

It depends on your source. I have heard it said in the Bible that animals can not get into heaven because, technically, they do not have souls. However, just the other day, I heard one of those TV Evangelists saying that they do. So .. I'm really not sure. Maybe the animals that you have loved during your lifetime get into Heaven with you. Good Luck! :)

i'm a Christian additionally, and have 'babies' (2 canines) as pets. whilst my final canines died, I spent various time thinking approximately this. there's a Scripture that asserts God loves people and animals an analogous..have not got my Bible accessible to look up the reference. we don't possibly comprehend for specific for Scripture does not say outright, yet i think of the two they are going to be there in any different case we will not even bear in suggestions them, for God knows how lots i admire my pets and He does not make me depressing in Heaven. basically my opinion, alongside with the others who've spoken. there's no definitive answer from a Christian perspective. yet He did outdo Himself with my canines, who bless me on a daily basis.

No, there isn't any mention of what happens in the Tanakh or the Gospels of what happens to animals.
But since they too are a creation of God i can only imagine that he would also want them (as well as us) too be with him when they die :o)
