Humans are animals.
We don't mean this figuratively or pejoratively: we mean this in a literal, factual sense.
Humans are part of the kingdom animalia, which comprises all animals.
As such, if you think, say, or write things like:
- "humans and animals"; or
- "humans versus animals";
... you're setting humans apart as something other than what we are, as if we're somehow above other animals, which is incredibly anthropocentric and flawed 
It's a bit like saying "2 and even numbers", which implies that 2 isn't an even number. Instead, you might say "2 and other even numbers"
So, when you are talking or writing about any animals, please kindly specify whether you mean:
- human animals
- non-human animals
- all animals
Thank you 🫶
