Ive just read an article suggested by proud womon, who added the recommendation in a comment on my post do dogs go to heaven?
In my post I had written that Pope Francis comforted a boy whose pet had died, and said we can expect to see beloved animals in heaven. It turns out this was not said by the current Pope, and may have been said by Pope Paul VI. See this NY Times Correction for details.
According to Vatican Radio, Francis did say, in speaking of heaven, The Holy Scripture teaches us that the fulfilment of this wonderful design also affects everything around us.
The article discusses the way in which humans tolerate the terrible treatment of some animals - especially those raised to be killed for eating - yet lavish love on a few species chosen as companions. Its a confronting topic, but the article is well worth reading.
