There are world religions that revere animals, from the Hindu reverence for cows to the ancient Egyptians who considered cats to be royalty. Although this is true, some people consider animals to be nothing more than a food source. Could pet reincarnation be a possibility or not.
In Africa, people generally believe in animal reincarnation. According to belief, death is not an end. It is believed that a life continues in some other form. They believe the dead live on in an invisible state and reincarnate into a new life. That new life might be as a person or an animal.
We see the ancient pyramids in Egypt as monuments to the kings. The truth is they are chambers of supplies to serve them in the afterlife. All the goods, riches and statues are accumulated during this life to serve them in the next. A Buddhist believes the soul lives on and enters another body to return to earth.
The Zulu people in Africa believe a soul is born into an insect or rodent. It moves up the line after each death, reincarnating into a higher life form until finally, it enters a human baby. Following that, there are many additional lives to be lived.
Karmic rebirth is the belief of Hindu and Buddhist religions. Thus, if someone is good when he dies he is reborn into another human. If he is bad, he can be reborn in the form of an animal. This is not exactly pet rebirth, but is similar.
Naturally, a great many people are very attached to their pets. Just as people join a support group after losing a loved family member, a pet owner may join one for those who lost a beloved pet. Some members of those support groups tell about a pet they believe is the soul of the lost pet.
Among the Inuits in Alaska, tribal members believe that animals have souls just as people do. When a hunter would slay an animal, they would stop to perform a ritual to propel the soul into the next life. They did not believe human and animal souls were interchangeable.
Native Americans consider the spirits of animals to be divine life forces that are part of the Creator. They believe in them being guardians of man. That spirit is reborn in a great circle of life. In earlier times, hunters offered a prayer thanking the animal for giving its life so the tribe could eat.
Men and dogs grow attached to each other in a special way. A dog loves his owner and never judges him. If a loved dog could be returned, the owner would be happy. There are more people in the world who believe in reincarnation and subsequent lives than do not.
It is as likely that pet reincarnation is a reality as it is that human reincarnation is real. People in India take the fact of rebirth as commonplace. If a belief such as this provides comfort to someone who loses a beloved pet, there is no harm in it. Besides, no one can prove it is not real.
