Strange, if you say we have souls, then why don't animals have them? Are they not living beings bound to this earth as well? What is a soul exactly?
And I'm not sure what human characteristics you speak of. All I know is that animals clearly demonstrate behavioural patterns and emotional qualities. They aren't on the same level or of the same patterns as humans, but they are there nonetheless. You continue to demonstrate how little you know about animals, both human and non-human. Maybe this has to do with what roachboy posted before me.
You don't seem to want to accept the fact that humans are a part of the animal kingdom. I'm not sure where we can go from here.
