Do animals have souls?

This joke says so, so it MUST be true! Your kind of 'evidence!'

"A bear and a rabbit were walking together down  a path in the woods.
The bear suddenly stopped and said ...'Excuse me, old man...call of nature, you know!'
and left the track.
He came back a few minutes later and they both continued their walk.
'Tell me' the bear said 'are you rabbits bothered by shit sticking to your fur'?
'Not at all'  the  replied. 'It doesn't affect us - dry pellets, your know!'

'Good'. said the bear, 'that's all right then',
and picked  up the rabbit and wiped his bum with him.
