>>876474 Beast != Animal
Not always, anyway. When most people hear the word "beast" in English, they don't picture a bald eagle, a zebrafish, or a honeybee. "Beast" usually carries with it a ferocious and mammalian character, like wolves, bears, boars, etc.
So I don't know who you're arguing with, since 876461 never claimed spiders weren't animals. He said they weren't beasts. And frankly, I'm inclined to agree -- despite my background in medical science (B.S. in physiology -- believe me, I've done tons of taxonomy big and small in my time).
