Hi Gina,
Solomon made mention of what happens to animals.
Ecc 3:20 All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust.
v. 21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?
I guess he too wondered what happened to animals when they die, it's a certainly that all (human and animal) die and return to dust... but then he seems to speculate about where the animal spirit of life ends up and suggest it remains in the dust of the ground. But Solomon is clear about the spirit in man returns to God until resurrection.
Ecc 12:7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.
So anyway I have come to accept that animals are in this world for the extra element they add to this life experience we have, but when they die there is no resurrection for them. But I think about just how much all intricacies of nature adds to this world, we have so many wonders to behold that makes our own existence here so much more interesting that's for sure. We have our pets to enjoy for a while and I have had many to love.
mercy, peace and love

Right after I hit send on this thread, that's what I started doing ... thinking about all the other intricacies (and earth worms, specifically - because we need them too). Yes, there's so much to consider. Who has time for wars? :)
