When you read or hear about vile, nasty people being referred to as "animals" honestly it fucks me off so much!!

Animals are peaceful, loyal, loving creatures. They only kill for nature / necessity and just want to live in peace like the majority of us. If they could talk in human form I've no doubt their messages would be filled with nothing but love and bewilderment at how some people treat each other, from the office bully to the murderers. Stop referring to scummy people as animals. Animals are beautiful ❤️ that is all. We are lucky to have them and they do not deserve to be labelled as such.

YABU. I think people are referring to people acting without consideration and insight as animals- responding to basic needs wants and instincts- like animals. So you’re equally in the wrong to think animals have kind generous natures… it’s all about survival and instincts.

I completely agree. I refer to them as scum, occasionally cunts in the most deserving of cases - humans not animals that is.

Yep, ridiculous and inaccurate description.

No I don't agree. Humans control their animal instincts - we don't piss in the street or scratch our rivals eyes out. We might want to, but we've evolved past it. Animals are morally neutral but they don't control their base instincts because they aren't human.
