When I hear someone described as an animal, I tend to assume that the speaker means precisely that the person being described is not evil, but merely either insane or utterly misguided, albeit with horrible consequences.
From a perspective of modern taxonomy.
There is plenty of linguistic precedent, however, to use the term "animal" to the exclusion of humans. If it bothers you that much replace the term "animal" with "non-human animal" or "non-rational animal."
Next we won't be able to use the term "wolf" to the exclusion of domesticated dogs.
The argument in the OP is bunk. It seems to leave out, or forget one small but very important detail - humans are animals.
That is all.
How many animals are blogging on the internet? How many animals have grave stones for their "loved ones." Lions don't elect a leader. (OK maybe Marxists are animals, you win on that one.)
Our bodies are designed for this environment. That is all. The rest is purely God-breathed.

I agree with Hairy Toe. One bit my ankle when I was a lad.Otters are evil little f*ckers, they'll snap your fingers off
Lol and Im sure it wasnt your fault at all, just like my friend who got bitten by a duck when she was a kid because she tried to pet it while it was sitting on its eggs, but "it was the ducks fault cause ducks are evil"I agree with Hairy Toe. One bit my ankle when I was a lad.
I agree with th OP non-human animals cannot be immoral, they may do things that seem immoral to us, but they cannot understand the morality of things, they may "rape" (like in the previous duck example where males outnumbered females 10 to 1) but its not "rape" like we think of it because they cannot understand what rape or consent is, also the males didnt do it knowing the females would die, it was not preconceived. It would be like a two year old playing with a gun if he shot someone it wouldnt be the kid that was acting immorally because he was not able to understand how a gun works or that he could kill someone.
