It is no problem for me that you believe this, but personally i do not see humans as animals. The reson why i believe we are not animals is the ability of being spiritual or spiritul beings. Animals can not learn the spiritual teachings
And you can't fly like an albatros.
Nore can you run as fast as a cheetah.
Nore can you zoom with your eyes like an eagle.
None of this is relevant to the definition of "animal".
Here's the biological definition of "animal":
Any of the eukaryotic multicellular organisms of the biological kingdom Animalia that are generally characterized to be heterotrophic, motile, having specialized sensory organs, lacking cell wall, and growing from a blastula during embryonic development.
We fit that definition. Just like we fit the definition of "primate", "mammal", "tetrapod", "vertebrate", etc.
It is literally impossible to come up with a definition for Animal that includes ALL animals but not humans, without explicitly and arbitrarily adding "...but not humans".
The same goes for coming up with a defintion of "Primate" that includes ALL primates but excludes humans.
The same goes for coming up with a definition of "mammal", "eukaryote", "vertebrate", etc etc.
There's a reason for that.
And that reason is, because we ARE primates, mammals, tetrapods, vertebrates, eukaryotes and, yes, animals.
