Human life vs Animal life

[Woodsprite]

Clouds are 100% water. Water is in snow cones. Snow cones are also 100% water. That means clouds are snow cones.

Roses are flowers. So are daisies. That means daisies are roses.

Examples of good reasoning, but bad conclusions. I could go on..

The fact that a comparison can be made doesn't have any bearing on its relevance. All of the examples you provided are quite obviously false. However, we are debating whether or not humans are animals. Something so fundamental should hardly be up to debate.

Humans are animals.

Meanwhile, in On-topic Land:

I believe, as an animal myself, that one animal killing another for sustenance is justified. Whether it's a wolf hunting a human or a human hunting a wolf (not that I imagine wolf meat is particularly delicious). I also believe each animal has an equal right to defend itself in said situation and kill its attacker. It's just the natural way of things, really...

However, if a kill can be avoided, it probably should be.
