How do you know that animals do not have souls? How do you know that humans do have souls? Do souls even exist?
We are not "higher" than the other animals, but we do have a higher level of intelligence and conciousness. That does not make us any more or less important than the other animals, and because we have a higher level of intelligence, we can choose not to torture or murder the animals for our pleasure.
As far as the bible is concerned, if that's what you believe, fine, but you have no right to impose your religious beliefs on others. The bible was written thousands of years ago, and some aspects of it are archaic and outdated. There is absolutely no reason to eat the flesh of dead animals, it is not necessary to our happiness or suvival.
As far as P.E.T.A is concerned, I think they are way over the top and their approach is actually discouraging people from becoming vegetarians and encouraging them to abuse animals.
