The Souls of Animals
Overall, this book is a sometimes touching look at why the author believes animals have souls. I already believed animals have souls, so I did not need any convincing, however. But this book would be good for anyone who wants to think about this question with some examples to get your thoughts moving.
One thing I disliked about this book: The author seems to assume that in order to respect and love our fellow souled beings, we should not be killing them and using them for food, etc. He used a quote from a famous Native American in his book to stress respect for our fellow animals; at the same time, he seemed to be leaning towards supporting vegetarianism from a moral perspective. Is this not ironic? Most Native Americans ate meat and used animal furs/skins for clothing and shelter. However, they killed the animals with a worshipful respect for their lives/souls which most people today do not have. So, respecting animals and believing they have souls does not have to be out of line with killing them and eating them.
The above issue just makes the book more thought-provoking, though, I suppose. Happy reading!
