In the Animal Kingdom, the Astonishing Power of the Number Instinct

Example: like I said, the idea of endless generations of countless millions of very short-lived animal souls in factory farms across most countries including our own is hard to swallow. If the purpose of soul incarnation is Earth experience and learning, this sure looks like countless mistakes being made by these souls - what sort of learning and what sort of experiences are these? What is conceptually difficult isn't that it should be possible, it is considering what sense it would make in very many cases. Surely the spiritual order of reality must make some sort of sense. Of course, I suppose it doesn't have to make any sort of human sense.

This line of reasoning seems to be taking victim-blaming to a new level. It seems you are supposing that all those suffering animals are responsible for their own situation. And thereby exonerating the truly spiritual humans from having to accept any responsibility for their actions. Somehow that logic seems broken.

There must be a better way to fix it than to assume that that animals have no souls and are incapable of suffering.
