>I realized animals "don't go to heaven" for a reason
In my experience most animals have botsouls, not real souls. Not even pets have real souls. I had a cat which I cared about, it died and was later reincarnated as a dog. But after the dog died, someone came to me with the soul and said
>this is yours, right?
and I took it. When looking at it, it was just a botsoul with my loving energy invested into it. In the end I could use it to summon a real soul from the void, but only because it was a "valuable material". It was still just a construct, even after having been a pet for 20 years.

But I've seen three people who did incarnate as animals after dying, at least one of them was a real soul. So that does happen on someone's karmic path sometimes.

But what I want to say with this is that

>make sure to energetically cleanse the meat from anything bigger than a chicken
While the meat itself contains material inserted from the way the animal lived, it's more important to consider your own attitude and thinking. Saving their souls isn't going to happen in most cases because they don't have souls. Rather how you treat them is a manifestation of your own character, so don't be mean for no reason or that will come back to bite you later. You are investing your energy into the animal's botsoul and it remains there until released. Treating it badly will create a vengeful botsoul. Not funny to deal with.
