If animals don't have souls and are almost exactly duplicates of us, spite physical appearence.
DNA, blood cells, brains, etc. Even similar replication organs.
They even show intelligence and memory.
They can be taught definition. Sit, laydown, rollever, fetch, and so on.
To say they have no souls, is reason to believe humans have no souls. Or animals do infact have souls.
Animals were first put here for the companionship of man. I'm sure that you have read Genesis, right? Afterall, it is imortant to atleast see the otherside of an arguement before you argue upon it. We, as Christians, believe that at first there was no war among animals. When evil was introduced into the world (through the actions of man 'mankind'), so were all things vile.

Where's the 'hey, don't over-do it, you'll kill yourselves, you pollute the oceans, you'll die, or want to'.
This isn't there becuase it didn't need to be. It seems to me that most of the animals on the "endangered species lists" aren't animals that would be eaten anyway. Most of these animals have been killed for profit or because they are varmits. As for the greenery being killed off, I don't condone the removal of the forest. This is yet another wrong-doing of man.
