Aren’t we also “just” animals as well though?

(Not defending either side, I just really dislike it when statements suggest we aren’t also literally animals that somehow figured out to think slightly more than others…)

Explain why not

Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy boi. If a cow ever got the chance, he’d eat you and everyone you care about!

Just because an animal does it doesn’t mean it’s okay for humans to do it

Then comparing human teeth to animal teeth is irrelevant no? Because what the animals do is irrelevant.
