Superman,

I'm gonna take flak for this, but I'll try my best to explain what I believe to be the difference between humans and animals from a "spiritual perspective". From a spiritual perspective, humans have a soul (that part of God that lives within us) and animals do not. Souls go to heaven or hell after death, so no animal would go to either "place". Many different religions and belief systems approach this question differently, so others may add their part, but the "soul issue" is what separates us from animals. Please remember that this is from a strictly "spiritual" perspective and no disrespect is meant to anyone or their beliefs by me... Other opinions????
