From where do they get their "soul"?
Why does your arbitrarily chosen vision of reincarnation differentiate between the human animal and the non-human animal? Are souls tailor fitted to their physical vehicle for some reason, or do you just assume that animals don't have souls while humans do?

Also, why do you assume that divine 'matter' like a soul has a finite quantity like a stack of wood?
