Well, look at my answer. Did it answer your question? If not, rephrase your question. But please put it clearly. I’m not terribly moved by academic lingo.
Which answer? To what question? Sorry, A_perfect_lady, I'm really not trying to be cute here, I'm just confused by your replies. I didn't see any "answers," just speculations about whether some animals have souls, etc.
But again, if that is your answer, what was the question? (I don't recall having asked about animal souls.)
Let's try again.
