What happens to animals when they die? Where do animals go when they die? Do animals go to Heaven or Hell after they die?

Well, animals has no awareness of right and wrong. They eat, they fight, they procreate. Thats all.

This is a very good question.
Technically speaking, humans are also animals, so perhaps we share a similar fate? Or perhaps our species has something that other species on our planet do not.
This is a great topic for philosophical play and theory-making.

Animals, like us, fall into oblivion after death
That's really interesting. I think people who do believe in heaven hope that animals go there. Especially their pets. I wonder if they want all animals to go there though- wasps, mosquitos, cockroaches. But then, would we have bodies to bite/ sting?
Why should an animal be sent to hell though? For doing what it was designed to do naturally? The same could be said for humans though, except we were given a rule book I suppose.
Do animals know when they've done something 'wrong'? What is 'wrong' for animal behaviour? Pets know when they've done something wrong though. I find that interesting about pets. We don't just anthropomorphize them- they actually start to pick up our habits. Separation anxiety, grief, guilt. Maybe they do exhibit such emotions in the wild but I imagine animals in captivity- including pets are a lot more neurotic- like us. Surely though, you can only commit a wrong doing if you were taught right and wrong to begin with.
That throws up other disturbing thoughts for me. Why wasn't God satisfied with the dinosaurs? Why get rid of them? Maybe in favour of creating us. But then- why? Because we have more capacity to worship a God? Because God now has an excuse to punish their creation? Because again- you can hardly berate a T-Rex for eating everything in sight. It often feels to me as if- if there is indeed a God, humans were set up to fail. Personally, I hope there is no God and no afterlife- either heaven or hell. I've had enough of their rule.
