SleepyCatten<p><strong>PSA</strong></p><p>Humans are animals.</p><p>We don't mean this figuratively or pejoratively: we mean this in a literal, factual sense.</p><p>Humans are part of the kingdom <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">animalia</a></strong>, which comprises <strong>all</strong> animals.</p><p>As such, if you think, say, or write things like:</p><ul><li>"humans and animals"; or</li><li>"humans versus animals";</li></ul><p>... you're setting humans apart as something other than what we are, as if we're somehow above <strong>other</strong> animals, which is incredibly anthropocentric and flawed :Sighing_Face: </p><p>It's a bit like saying "2 <strong>and</strong> even numbers", which implies that 2 isn't an even number. Instead, you might say "2 <strong>and other</strong> even numbers"</p><p>So, when you are talking or writing about any animals, please kindly specify whether you mean:</p><ul><li><strong>human</strong> animals</li><li><strong>non-human</strong> animals</li><li><strong>all</strong> animals</li></ul><p>Thank you 🫶</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/HumansAreAnimals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumansAreAnimals</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/NonHumanAnimals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NonHumanAnimals</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/AllAnimals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AllAnimals</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/PSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSA</span></a></p>
