Pets: The Danger of Humanizing Animals

Here at Prayers for Our Pets, we love all animals, especially our own dear pets. We pray daily for all the pets in need and hope to one day be reunited with our beloved pets in Heaven.

However, we also make it very clear that pets are animals. When a pet dies, we do not request prayers for the dead pet. Instead we pray for the grieving owner of that beloved pet. Pets do not have immortal souls, like a human being does.

With that said, I would like to share a recent article by a priest on the danger of humanizing our pets to the detriment of society.

For the Love of Pets
