Have you ever thought about what little notice people take of animals' feelings?   Most folk assume that farm animals exist solely to provide food for humans.   What do the cows and goats and sheep and pigs think about being part of the food chain?   Not much, I guess.

But do pet animals fare much better than those that are farmed?    Aren't they still kept for our pleasure.  It's not entirely for their benefit is it?   It's because we want something from them - friendship and companionship.  They're faithful,  they make us feel good and less alone.

Domestic animals are almost always split up from their families and friends.  They have no choice in the matter.   They aren't allowed any freedom except at our whim.   They are forcibly neutered and not allowed to breed, which is a natural urge.  They have to eat what we provide whether it's to their taste or not.   All their natural instincts are stifled in compliance with our way of life.

It's a safe bet that there aren't any humans in the Animal's Heaven.
