We are human beings; everything we perceive is colored by our
human-ness. Other animals perceive the world accordingly. In my
opinion, it is arrogant to assume our cultural mores extend to
non-humans, kind of like dressing up a dog. It might be good for
giggles but it makes no sense. Thast's why RMP suggests drawing a
boundary, imo.

Odd, it seems arrogant to me to assume that much of anything about us is
radically different than what we see in other species. We are a product of
natural selection and the same rules apply to us as to every other species.
Comparing our social manifestations to that of other species, looking at how
they arise from similar conditions and serve similar functions seems, what
the word I am looking for... natural.
On the other hand assuming that we are unique seems to me, what's that other
word... supernatural.
