Was it referring to animals, too? I'm being serious. I think animals go to Heaven when they die if God wishes for it to be. Jesus is seen riding on a white horse in Revelations. How would a horse be in Heaven if animals didn't go there?

Mark 16:15. Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

Yes. All creation, including animals, will be restored when mankind is fully restored. Here are some supporting Scriptures to bless you:
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass That from one New moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me, says the Lord.
Luke 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God
Acts 3:21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Rom 8:19-21 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subject to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subject it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
Coll 1:20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of the cross.

The Markan version seems to not have been original with the gospel. Matthew's has no such issues or linguistic ambiguity: Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Well, Bible Says... it DOESN'T SAY ZOON in Mark.
The word you indicated, "ζÏον" meaning living creature, is NOT in Mark 16:15. The wording is "ÏαÏη Ïη κÏιÏει" Literally, "all the creation."
ζÏον is only found in Hebrews, 2Peter, Jude, and Revelation.

Animals don't have a soul, don't go to Heaven, and Jesus riding on a white horse was not literal.

Back then the horse was a symbol for war. When Jesus returns he will no longer be the 'teacher'. Also, the verse where you got the question from would be nice...

Creature is from the Greek word 'Zoon' which is defined as 'living creaure' beast'. So I guess you can say the meaning of the sentence is every "beast" mix alittle common sense with it and he is telling us to preach all who can recieve such message.

I think that animals have souls but they don't need religion to be happy like some humans do.
