Do all animals go to heaven when they die? I hope not

[rogets]

I like to think that my life has been a good one and then when my day of judgement comes that I will go through the pearly gates and that god will say "yes, you have been good so go through that door where all the good people go"

 

Now clearly animals must have souls (some people think they have intelligence) so what happens to animals when they die?

 

Do they go to heaven? surely not.

 

When I go through the gates into heaven and through the door where all the good people go I'd like to see rabbits and lambs happily playing. Surely you aren't going to see any crocodiles in heaven, or locusts, or even my neighbours horrible cat that used to trample all over my flowers.

 

Surely the good animals would be allowed to go to heaven and the bad ones go straight to hell?

 

SO yes I accept humans go to heaven and some nice animals, but surely not the evil ones? crocodiles in heaven? the mind boggles

What about the ones you've eaten?

[SnailyBoy]

I wouldn't worry about it too much as you'll be burnt to a crisp or decomposing, all your molecules scattered.

[carosio]

What about the ones you've eaten?

 

What about the animals that have eaten other animals?

[Chelle-82]

No such place so a moot point..

[lottiecass]

No,you will just rot or be cremated like the billions before you.

Before you ask about animals, what makes you think that humans go to a heaven after death? Or that a heaven even exists?

 

"Clearly animals must have souls", what makes you say this?

I think that dog heaven and cat hell is the same place, as is cat heaven and mice hell etc.

But some crocodiles are good people too.

Last time I was up there, Saint Peter gave me the introductory tour.

It was all rather lovely with blue skies, occasional cotton cloud, meadows, streams, bunnies and lambs etc. as you might expect.

 

Then, as we were coming out of a copse, we saw, on the other side of the valley, a 30ft high wall stretching as far as the eye could see in both directions.

 

"What it that?", I asked.

 

"Keep your voice down" said Peter, "All the Catholics are on the other side. They think that they are the only ones here!"
