Its actually a great question, the problem is, animals, and primitive people, are not human, hahahahahahahahaha or at least we want to attempt to make them not civilized people(human).
Let me explain, words/language, is not actually meaningful, nor does it have to be accurate. For instance, you and others DWELL on the work cannibalism. Which is consuming your own kind. If an animal or colony/population of animals, do not recognize other animals as its own kind, then its not cannibalism, they are simply consuming prey. Simply put, its the scent gland in action. Lets call these groupings, a tribe. A tribe of kingsnakes live together, hang out, breed, etc, and they recognize eachother first by that scent thing, then by familiarity(repeated contact) Once this bond is set, anything not US, the tribe, is then considered, other then, or them. If its them, it is then fair game to consume. With humans, its humans, us, then animals, the other. Why we don't call ourselves animals, is indeed odd. So we can eat animals, anything but us. But, primitive tribes, did not consider other tribes as them, so they were fair game to consume. Other tribes had different smells, different languages, different looks, so they were not us. So fair game to eat. Only modern man labels animals with scientific names, and these names, do not have a dang thing to do with the actual behavior and beliefs of the animals. Simply put, one tribe of kings, do not act or think that other tribes of kings are the same. And they do not called themselves kings, that's our word. if its not us, its them. simple. End part 2
