^^^^^^^Well, that's going to lead to some 'confusing' nightmares.
Otherwise, well, yes. It's very hard to get the language right in cases like this. When we consider ourselves as animals, do we think of ourselves differently than when we consider ourselves humans? That is, though humans are animals, is there - outside of any religious idea and accepting we are animals - a different tone to thinking of ourselves as humans? I get the feeling there is, and I find that interesting.
