This isn't as silly a question as you may suppose. We spent a deal of time in a seminary class discussing this issue and the Romans 8 passage. One of the Senior members of my ordination council also brought the subject up during my questioning.

It becomes important to the local Pastor, because members of their churches will ask the question when they lose a beloved pet.

I personally, tend to think animals have no soul. Yet, I could be wrong on this issue because of little Biblical support for or against.

Who knows? We're Reformed. Maybe the elect animals go to heaven and the rest just taste great. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
