Because nobody’s ever seen animal ghosts (Only exception is native Americans) nor were animal ghosts documented in the old times until 2007 when someone brought up the subject of animal ghosts, more and more people claimed they saw animal ghosts and more and more stories about animal ghosts were written since then - Thus:
Before 2007, there were no ghosts. After 2007, there have been ghosts.
Because, if humans can turn to be ghosts after death, animals can do that too. The only possibility that nobody’s ever seen animal ghosts before is because: “Hey I’ve seen you a trillion times before but I didn’t know you’re animal ghosts. Since now someone mentioned there you were, so now I know you.”

In 1610, Inquisitor Alonso de Salazar Frías dismissed reports of witches and witchcraft as popular delusion, noting ‘there were neither witches nor bewitched until they were talked and written about’. It was a brilliant observation on mass psychology, and you’ve just proved it right yet again.
Sorry there is another possibility: Some animals have evolved ability to become ghosts after death since 2007. This has been proved by many Youtube videos showing that animals can play, sing, or talk with humans, which means those animals have close level of souls as humans’.
Thanks to Youtube, it accelerated the speed of animal evolution with a quantum leap.
Well, perhaps we only recognize representations in human form. A soul is a soul, whether it is human or not, but whether we are able to see a ghost in the form of an animal is a different matter.
It is a different story if you speak to a medium - they often make reference to animal spirits and have done pre-2007.
All this of course is hypothetical, assuming there are ghosts.
Where are all the cow ghosts, chicken ghosts, pig ghosts, rabbit ghosts, duck ghosts, goose ghosts, goat ghosts, fish ghosts, shrimp ghosts, crab ghosts, squid ghosts, octopus ghosts, whale/dolphin ghosts? Billions of them are killed every day everywhere so there must be alot of them ghosts. Many of those animals are not less intelligent than any aborted babies during pregnancy, since ppl also see aborted baby ghosts, so those animal ghosts must exist for sure too.
Cos it’s all a load of baloney, most people who see ghosts are highly impressionable. Even if people sre something that they can call a ghost there are almost no accounts of them interacting with humans or having discernible form, people could be seeing an unknown phenomena at the most that has nothing to do with people alive or dead.
There have been stories of animal ghosts going way back…the baskerville hounds etc.
What the op is talking about is how culture changes and what was ridiculed becomes accepted overtime, in this case because the artificial distinction between humans and animals is breaking down along with loss of influence in western world of Christianity.
