have no idea what's confusing you.
james stated humans are members of animalia.
you stated animals are members of animalia.
i asked to define animals.
you said any member of animalia.
humans have rights and are members of animalia.

what's so confusing?

And who said humans are the only members of the Kingdom Animalia ? I'm curious to know..
 
How is a Human killing a cow for food any different from a Cheetah killing a Gazelle for food.

As predators, the only thing that a Human lacks is useful natural weapons (EG substantial claws and fangs), because we have instead involved the intellect and imagination to be able to use tools.

Why should I have to give up eating meat, just because somebody else gets queasey at doing their own dirty work?
 
still confused enmos?
once again (hopefully a little clearer)
humans and animals are members of animalia.
you stated an animal is any member of animalia.
humans have rights.
by extension that also applies to, uh, er, i guess animals.

this is why i asked for a definition of "animal"
a biological one isn't going to suffice.
 
the law distinguishes animals from humans on the basis of humans having a "soul".

in order to grant animals rights you must somehow define "animal" legally.
so far that hasn't been forthcoming.
saying an animal is any member of animalia is not going to suffice legally

You must be the one that is confused pal.
Humans have rights. Right ? Right.
Humans are animals. Right ? Right.
Does that mean that all animals have rights ? NO.
