“Our enemies are animals, combating them isnt cruelty. It is an act of love and absolute devotion to humanity” — Aaron Catlin Styles.

Human?

My definition of human is someone with whom I can cooperate with for reciprocal benefit. My definition of livestock is one that I must manage or maintain – a slave. My definition of animal is one whom I cannot cooperate with nor manage, nor maintain – a resource, a pest, a parasite, or a predator.

One acts as a Human, Livestock, or Animal. What one looks like, or speaks is immaterial. I cannot cooperate with an ape, I may not be able to domesticate it without incurring a net loss. So it remains a resource at best and a pest or parasite or predator under other conditions.

If we cannot cooperate or domesticate a creature it is not human: someone with whom we can cooperate with in the production of goods, services, and information, family, and generations, commons and defense.
