Why do humans place themselves separate from all other life on this planet?
Note number 2
Animal
–noun
1. any member of the kingdom Animalia, comprising multicellular organisms that have a well-defined shape and usually limited growth, can move voluntarily, actively acquire food and digest it internally, and have sensory and nervous systems that allow them to respond rapidly to stimuli: some classification schemes also include protozoa and certain other single-celled eukaryotes that have motility and animal like nutritional modes.
2. any such living thing other than a human being.
3. a mammal, as opposed to a fish, bird, etc.
4. the physical, sensual, or carnal nature of human beings; animality: the animal in every person.
This separation from all other life is killing the planet. All animals and really all life is connected in a balance. It seems the universe has a knack for keeping everything in balance. The way things are going we seem to be pushing thing out of balance all the time to make us happy during our short existences. At some point something will happen to bring thing back into balance. I have a feeling when this happens the definition of Animal will be one of the many things adjusted if our species still exits.
Yea a little dark I know but, come on. Look around at what we are doing. How we are living. Now think about it. Whats the logical end if things keep going along this same course.
It's late, I'll rail against the many groups I see pushing us down this road in future posts.

I think your quote from the dictionary supplies your answer: "4. the physical, sensual, or carnal nature of human beings; animality: the animal in every person." Humans are afraid of their carnal nature and in fearing that, separate themselves from the rest of the animal world Really, humans are in serious denial, as we can see by watching the evening news. The animal in us exists and the ugly side often rears its ugly head because we suppress our inner animal (both the positives and the negatives).
