I have to add that I agree with Justina and Veronika!

Well, Justina, I came to see your post accidentally, after searching for “orthodox argument for infant baptism”, I saw your comment on the sidebar. Thank you for your comment. We just came back from a wildlife centre, where we left a badly injured pigeon. He is not likely to survive. Just because God has not spelled it out that animals have an afterlife as well, I became convinced that God remembers all He created. After my beloved dog passed away following a violent attack, I had a brief vision of him, and on separate occasions my son and my neighbor had seen him with their own eyes. My charismatic neoprotestant acquaintances told me it was occultism. Nonsense! None of has done any occultic practices, we have not tried to induce or expected to see anything, it just happened. It was a show of God’s grace.

REspectfully, those who think animals end forever when they die are wrong. Adam did not acquire but became a living soul when the breath of life was put in him by God. Genesis 2:7
the animals that died in the Flood are listed among those that had the breath of life in them, so they also are souls. Genesis 7:21, 22. Animals have spirits Ecclesiastes 3:21.
Therefore they live after death. Revelation 5:13 shows all creatures in heaven on earth under the earth and in the sea praising God. Romans 8:19-22 all creation awaits the Second Coming of Christ in hope.

I noticed that among the clean mammals, they are all ruminates that lack upper incisors, the front teeth. They have rather a hard plate that the lower teeth press against to bite off mouthfuls of vegetation. This makes it impossible for them to use their teeth and mouth as a weapon against other animals. Horses, camels, and hares will bite in fights with each other. Cattle, sheep, goats and the members of the deer families can not. This brings to mind St. Paul’s admonition for Christians to not use their mouths to bite and devour each other in their speech.
