do animals have a real concept of death? when fish die do they wake up in the afterlife like “huh. that was weird” and keep swimming? they would have no idea. birds hit something and wake up in bird heaven. who has time to think about how they got in this weird place? they got songs to sing and nests to build. if an afterlife exists do animals know?? do animals know they are dead???
