The answer

Animals will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection for retribution (qisas), where the oppressed will receive justice from the oppressor. Then, they will turn to dust and will not enter Paradise or Hell. This retribution is not like the accountability of humans; rather, it is a form of retribution in return for their lack of accountability. The supplicant's prayer against someone who wronged an animal might be considered an transgression in supplication, and it is more befitting for them to ask Allah for Paradise for themselves and their parents.
