Humans are animals, just because we have higher intelligence than other creatures, we still are and remain animals, we even reproduce the same way as f.e. cows. So that would mean that all animals go to heaven, not only our pets, but also all the cows that are eaten. Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense if only humans and cats and dogs and the occassional guiney pig would go to heaven. It would have to be other animals too. And if only humans would go to heaven, then first of all [heaven would kinda suck] but it would be weird because all we are is animals. Unless there is no heaven at all.....what do you think? Please don't waste my time by answering in a rude or silly manner.

What about disabled people and children, they do not have an awareness of God.

Human beings are NOT animals.
Human beings have an immortal spirit & soul.
Animals have a mortal spirit, but no immortal soul.
Animals live, die, and return to dust, just as flowers and birds, and fish do.
The Bible tells us that there will be animals of all kinds in Heaven, but none of them will have ever been born or lived on the earth first. The animals in Heaven will be perfect, gentle, and ageless.

Logically speaking as a Christian, if I told the gospel message to an animal they might not understand it. So animals would not care if they went to heaven or went to hell.
Also God made man in his eternal image that included an eternal soul. And Jesus Christ on the cross died just for human beings and not other animals.

Humans have a different type of soul than animals which is why they have more intelligence, awareness of self, and artistic ability. Animals have a different type of soul which cannot survive death like the human soul can. The human soul longs for a God and can comprehend life after death. Could you imagine just not existing anymore? No. That is the nature of the human soul, but not of an animal's.

Wow.
I actually READ this "question".
Okay. Hmm. For an answer. Let's see.
Perhaps heaven is for animals that never got eaten by other animals?
How about if there's a gate at the entrance to heaven that requires the use of an opposible thumb to open?
I'm going to need to think more about this one. I'll get back to you later.

Animals have souls, but when they die the energy from their souls is returned to the Universe itself. They do not simply cease to exist; rather, their energy patterns and experiences are recycled or re-incarnated into other forms. Only when that collected energy produces consciousness and self awareness, is it able to be promoted into that higher plane of existence we call Heaven.

Heaven does not exist. It is just a concept.
All living things (animals incl humans, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria) die and disintegrate into simpler forms of organic compounds. That's all.

I think when good people eat these animals & when they go to Heavan, they take the eaten animals along with them?
silly people ask silly questions & get silly answers.

Humans are the only animals that have souls, therefore animals do not go to Heaven.

Yeah, I also believed that when I was 7 and loved to watch "All dogs go to heaven"..but I dont think there're Zoos in heaven :)
so nope, they dont, animals dont go to heaven...
Humans are animals imbued with souls, and that's a tiny BIG difference.
Non-human animals do not have souls...even if you could swear your dog is so cute that it's gotta have one, it doesnt...
