I've heard many people on here say that animals don't have souls, that they won't go to heaven, that they shouldn't be regarded on the same level as humans, blah blah blah. But when it comes to the issue of feral children it seems to debunk this whole theory. I mean, there are scientific examples of children abandoned w/ absolutely no human contact only to be raised by wolves, or other animals around them. They LITERALLY act, speak, eat, and interact like animals and NOTHING like humans. So are these children soul-less, are they exempt from Heaven entry, are they not to even be regarded as humans? Just curious what other peoples viewpoints on this issue are.

To answer Chelsea's question: I've read many debates on here about animals vs. humans and it seems to be more of a debate based on feelings and not fact. I asked a question once about what ppl against homosexuality think about homosexual animals and I got a lot of responses like this "Animals are savages, not human" "Animals don't have souls" "Animals don't have decision making skills."

I think children like this never reach the age of accountability and I hope that they will go to heaven. But the Bible says "we know in part" We don't have all the answers but we know the charicter of God so that is why I think what I think,,

Regardless of the "benevolence of animals" in rearing a human being, the manner in which a person is raised, does not "delete" the fact that the person has a "soul." This is my personal opinion. I wish you well. What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, WHO can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Peace, Love and God Bless.

Feral children ARE humans, therefore, they are to be regarded as such.
