Indeed. In simple creatures, there is “somebody” in there. Even plants can exhibit a personality of sorts. In every living thing, there is a Divine spark.
Such attributes as a “soul” or a “personality” were not invented with homo sapiens. We are NOT the Almighty’s Chosen species. If we mess up, the world will go on quite nicely without us.

No kidding...because they have no independent personalities? What kind of ‘excuse’ or reasoning is that?
I am with you there....all my animals, each of my 4 horses and two donkeys and even my chickens, not to mention my 2 cats and dog....they have distinct and independent personalities.
