Will an animal which is being killed by a person surely gets a chance in its next birth to kill him or her?

[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on April 11, 2021, in which several devotees participated. Some of the questions of devotees answered by Swāmi are given below.]

[Śrī JSR Prasad asked: Sāṣṭāṇga praṇāmas Swāmi. May I request You to kindly clarify my following doubt:

'māṃ saḥ yathā hinasti paścāt janmani tat ha ahaṃ taṃ haniṣyāmi' (an animal that is being killed by a perosn thinks that I will kill this person, the way he is killing me now, in my next birth) does this expression mean that the animal will surely get a higher birth in which it will be able to kill the person who is killing it now? At Your lotus feet, Prasad.]

Swāmi replied: - If the soul of animal is full of negative qualitives only, it will be born as a tiger and the present killing person will be born as a goat to be killed by the tiger. If the soul of animal has some positive qualities also, it can be born as butcher to kill the same goat. Even a butcher can be uplifted spiritually as in the case of Dharmavyādha. Divine administration takes care of every minute point also and there will be no trace of error as in our case.
