Animals do not have immortal souls but are perfect in their place

"When asked about the individual persistence of the animal's personality after death, 'Abdu'l-Bahá said: "Even the most developed dog has not the immortal soul of the man; yet the dog is perfect in its own place. You do not quarrel with a rose-tree because it cannot sing!""

(Attributed to 'Abdu'l-Bahá, `Abdu'l-Bahá in London, p. 97)
