Re: Animal souls
We humans are not native of this planet, but animals are native species of planet earth. They have a well integrated chemistry with this planet and thus their inner nature is evident from outside. Means that they are what they apears to be.
But for us humans, we came here to this planet to conquer and live here and destroy its native species ... Thus man has this dual personality and the real nature of man is known as soul and the appearance is body.
Man is intrinsically evil, animals are not !
