As per Vedic sciences,
Hindu philosophy believes in rebirth unless your Sanchit and Prarabdha Karmas
are totally exhausted.
It also believes in
liberation in which once your past karma’s debt is over, you do not take a
rebirth.
Garuda Purana on the
other hand says that you can take a birth in animal species which means you can
be born like a donkey or a dog. Vedic science on the other hand says that once
you get a human body, you will either be liberated or get another human body
only.
Garun Puran message
can be read and interpreted in a different perspective. In mythology humans are
linked to animal tendencies. For example, bull is linked to sexual and
non-sexual desires, peacock to vanity etc. Probably, people who wrote Garuda
Purana meant that if you do not live according to the Shastras, you will end up
in getting another human body but with animal tendencies and behavior.
It is said that Garuda Puranas should be read only at the place where somebody is dead
