This is absolutely behind the joke.

You're right.

OH IDK, Rik.  I like dogs too..doesn't mean I won't eat them.  If anything..something being delicious only makes me like that something even more.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Any animal like forms in heaven are the equivalent of 'set dressing'. They would be there to illustrate heavenly missives, if they are there. For instance, there might be tableaus of lions and lambs, an obvious Scriptural reference. There might be a 'great fish' invoking Jonah, of course, but these animal forms would not be animals that had lived upon the earth.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I don't know where their souls go, but since animals don't carry moral responsibility and are innocent, I don't see how it makes any sense to say Hell is on the table lol. My guess is they don't experience the afterlife the same way we do, just as they don't experience this life the same way. So maybe they don't get the same full experience of Heaven, but they do live on in some sort of peaceful state without suffering? That's my guess .
What about centipides, ants, rattlesnakes, millipedes, and macrophages?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

To believe that we pop up as humans without first being insects is like to believe that we can get a degree without first go through primary, high school, uni and so on.

I;d be willing to entertain the notion that your parents where mealworms, if you insist.

I don't know about them. The snake is kinda out of place, but the rest of them do have much less sentience, awareness, and emotion than non insect animals, so maybe it's different with them.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
