    Do I dehumanize a creature which is not human? No, dehumanization doesn’t work that way.

      By “human” you might mean

      1. an animal whose DNA falls within a specific probability distribution, or
      2. an animal that embodies various virtues or transcendental capacities, etc.

      We should acknowledge that countless creatures meet condition 1 but not 2. So what?

        Your second definition is usually referred to as “person”, not “human”.
