I was just thinking of the ability humans have to cause harm to themselves or commit suicide, because, if our goal as a species was strictly biologically passing ourselves down to our offspring, that wouldn't be possible.
Because we have a soul, we're able to do things like I just described.
Are there any good examples of animals doing things like those, and not just expressing negative emotions?
By the way, there certainly are instances of this, but I'm sure that's been pointed out already. There are cases of even animals such as dogs doing this, and there are times when elephants in circuses (horrible environments) have killed or attempted to kill their offspring -- as if to keep them from suffering the same fate -- or rushed out in an act that is something like a suicide rush. I think there are many more cases of similar behavior but I would have to look up what some of them are. Animals who are observed to be in distress or mourning are sometimes seen jumping off cliffs, drowning themselves, etc.
Re: animal ethics I was just saying you have definitely thought more about it than me, I only started thinking about it the past month as my girlfriend is vegan and gets into me daily about it
I have no idea why I am being compared to Sonseray, Sonseray is toxic and belligerent 24/7, I get so occasionally but it's like once every three months and I am always apologetic. Sonseray just loves to put others down.
Also I've been here 2 years longer than Sonseray

but as to whether they have "souls"(?????) I can't argue with people giving biological arguments on a biology level because all I know is what was taught to me in public school before eighth grade and a tiny inkling that was picked up by osmosis, so I do need to read about it
