#it's also just really invalidating and depressing to act like therefore a nonhuman who looks human can never be accepted as their species

[mechanical-sunchild]

It's not logically sound to act like non human animals have some special understanding of what humans are or do too - much less the human morality which could result in some judgements. I know different cultures have different beliefs about the general sentience of non human animals, but there's nothing to suggest that say your average theriform deer is judging a human hunter any more than it judges the hungry theriform wolf. Theriform cows don't understand climate change. Theriform birds don't know what the human species is up to as a whole, they're not watching the news. Humans and other animals just exist, the only one judging humans is other humans and nonhumans raised with human level understanding. Stop anthropomorphising non human animals to fit your misanthropy.

"animals know we are trespassers on their land" "animals fear humans because we sully their beautiful domain of nature" "this animal that killed someone was seeking revenge for our collective actions" "all animals secretly mock us for having worse senses and being weaker and clumsier" "animals are more emotionally intelligent than people" "humans are not natural and animals always know"

YOU'RE STILL PUTTING HUMANS ON A PEDESTAL! YOU'RE STILL GIVING HUMAN AS A SPECIES OF ANIMAL SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE! YOU ARE BEING UNSCIENTIFIC ABOUT ECOLOGICAL REALITY! YOU ARE A BEAST NO MATTER WHAT!
