>What do you mean with "our" firends?
If 8moe was an apartment building, they're just five doors down.
>Animals cannot use human language
Why does the language matter? If that's the justification, then one can argue that anyone who doesn't speak your own native language is not "human", which has been the precedent in some past societies dating back millennia. That's even where we get the word "Barbarian" from.
>Animals do not have the complex reasoning abilities required to fully understand actions, consequences, or the concept of consent itself.
What is the standard and the proof for this?
>Their actions are primarily guided by instincts and conditioned responses rather than deliberate, informed choices.
The same can be said for humans. In fact, that's been Socialism's biggest argument since it existed in it's proto-form with Rousseau and his theory of "The social contract".
>Animals cannot comprehend human social, cultural, or situational nuances that influence consent.
The same can be said for people who travel between something as small as a state. Hell, Canada has the same heritage and is a neighbor of the U.S., yet there are many aspects of their society, culture, and situational nuances are absolutely alien to those of us living in America.
>There is no mutual framework between humans and animals for making informed decisions about interactions.
Again, what is the standard and the proof for this?
>While animals can exhibit behaviors that humans might interpret as positive or negative, these signals are not intentionally communicated as consent or refusal.
The same can be said for women, you know.
To be quite blunt, all of your points rely upon fallacious arguments that have been used and rejected by people for the past 500 years when it comes to the different human
races intermingling with each other.
