Soul, in religion and/or philosophy, is the immaterial aspect or essence of all living things, that which confers individuality and humanity, often considered to be synonymous with the mind or the self. In theology, the soul is further defined as that part of the individual which partakes of divinity and often is considered to survive the death of the body. Many cultures have recognized some incorporeal principle of life or existence corresponding to the soul, and many have attributed souls to all living things. Even prehistoric peoples had a belief in an aspect distinct from the body and residing in it. Despite widespread and longstanding beliefs in the existence of souls, different religions and philosophers have developed a variety of theories as to its nature, its relationship to the body, and its origin, mortality, immortality and the afterlives. We want to explore all these.. No one can prove that animals have souls (including us as humans). Some truths simply cannot be demonstrated.  We assume that you believe and empathize with animals and their joys and strugglesand that animals have the power to touch and transform us.
