Yes, the "something wrong with me" is that I am familiar with the Linnaean taxonomy of biology. What's your problem?
No real problem here. But this is an instance where I would tend to not observe strict scientific nomenclature.
I’ll leave putting humans and animals on the same level to the PETA crowd (I am *not* saying you are some PETA nut). That’s just how it struck me.
Cheers!
