Animals are not EXISTENT - they just are.  We say they're EXISTENT, that is a human concept we place on an animal. Animals don't have the concept "EXISTENT".  
So squares are not 4-sided, grass isn't green, and so on because they don't have concepts.  A better move for you would be that animals don't have mental attributes because they don't have mental concepts.
