one does not have to have a vocabulary of any kind in order to be considered conscious by me.

the simple witnessing of reality (in whatever aspect) by a being assures me that their life is valid. rocks do not witness any aspect of reality.

animals i believe are as full of "soul" as i am, and i value their lives just like i value my own.
animals are innocent and aware. what a winning combination.

i am going to bed now so no need to reply.

We are animals. And other animals can talk. Gorillas have been taught sign language. Porpoises and whales are believed to have language. Most mammals have at least a body language if not a vocal one. Rudimentary perhaps, but they do constitute communication.

Other animals possess skin without fur, such as many sea-going mammals.

Yes we are.

Where exactly do we fit into the world's taxonomy if as animals?

Are we plants?

Bacteria maybe?

Oh dear don't let reality intrude into your fantasy view of the world, let us just have a papal decree instead and the world will be all fixed...
