Many animals act purely on instinct, and humans are supposed to be “better” than that… we are supposed to consider the physical and emotional repercussions of our actions, and it’s an insult to be told you’re more like an animal. And not all animal comparisons are negative; it’s a good thing to be sly as a fox, quiet as a mouse, to be coltish, to have eagle-eyes, or to be happy as a bunny in clover or a pig in shit… and on my best day I’m not as sweet and loyal as my “bitch.”
