Sadly, yes!
The child served it’s purpose, monsters belong behind bars. Life is sacred.
The chipmunk - it will come back as human to experience life.
I’ve lived over 25 times in-between a flower and an elephant.
Don’t ask.

Who knows, some think coming back is punishment and their end goal is going to the great void. I know that isn’t my personal goal, I like existing.

The animal could reincarnate back here as a human or another animal or elsewhere as another race, it could even be in the otherworld in the process of becoming a guide. Who knows but a psychopomp.

Reincarnation is part of the natural order, much like being born and dying. Some people may be reborn as something else for specific reasons, but not everyone.

According to the doctrine in The Tibetan Book of Dead, reincarnation may simply happen because the soul was not capable of blocking the “door to the womb”.

I’m in agreement with everyone else. I mean I’ve recently been looking into my past lives and two or three were just statistics to war…

The text says that, after death, one must be able to (so to speak) be disgusted by the womb i.e. by reincarnation, and possibly use a mind attitude/reaction learned by spiritual teachings received during life.
(Before this there are other stages, for example the dead sees strong lights; if these aren’t recognized as him/herself, then what follows are visions of pacific and angered gods etc.)
