We’ve probably all herd it, on the media or elsewhere. Someone calling a violent criminal an ‘animal’.
It annoys me animals are Far better than criminals, unlike humans they almost never kill for pleasure or sport etc. Nor do they and don’t commit other violent crimes either.
Animals are much nicer than some humans! They kill/attack etc for survival.

I've heard violent criminals get called animals on the media.

Totally agreed on this. Any human that acts irresponsibly, violently or anything else bad gets labeled an animal. Just like being called a dog or a *itch is an insult. The most loyal, friendly, accepting creatures in the world. Total insult, man.

It's like alot of people, they say "You guys are acting like a Bunch of Animals". It's really disapointing to some people that they use this type of words to compair something.

Yeah, I've heard it. I agree completely. When you get down to it, certain 'insults' are really compliments, if someone calls you a birdbrain for example, birds are incredably intellagent, some more than others, but proporiently, birds have the biggest brain in comparencion to their body of most of the animal kingdom. Being called a dog should be a complment, heck even being called a skunk would be because skunks don't hurt their attackers to defend themselves. I agree completely, this is more of an insult to the animals than people.

Yes, they are...

Which makes it even more confusing why people call criminals 'animals'.

I think they are calle animals because they are more independent,even though some criminals are just plain @#$%^&*
