No they are most definitely not animals.
They are creatures of high intelligence and nobility (and mobility), perhaps higher than our own.
While some decry them as monsters, I prefer to think of them as Elements of wisdom, although with maybe a take on matters that we don’t understand.
But mere animals? A resounding no.
btw, my favourite one from my daughter recently, to her mum: “Mummy, where’s your white clothes when you marry Daddy”
We married in a registry office in Bangkok, and she was there, only not yet born. But she already has that white wedding archetype in her head. Very sweet, but oh dear
Dave – Cheers for commenting fella. So sorry to be such a slacker approving these. I’d stopped looking at this a while ago. I really must start posting again as I think this Blog’s a great stimulus for sharing original thought.
They say the most incredibly funny, witty and observant things.
From the “Mouths of Babes” as they say.
Of course they’re animals! Look at the biological definition of an animal:
it eats
it breathes
it reproduces
it moves.
It’s an animal. A mythical one, maybe, but still. It isn’t a vegetable or a mineral or a fungi or a prokaryotic organism, right?
Hey Nessa – Thanks for supporting my blog and thanks for the answer.
Only two commenters and already a difference of opinion – wow.
Sooo – any gems from G you can share?
Mythological creature, and therefore the most wonderful things you can imagine … but I am about two-and-a-half months late on this.
p.s. glad to have found you again, Goatygav, and you’ve reminded me that my own blog is in urgent need of attention.
Trouble is I’ve been a bit tied up with setting up a forum for an apartment-owners group I belong to, plus Boys’ Brigade camp and loads of jobs around the house… oh, dear, I’m sounding like Martin Bryce in Ever Decreasing Circles. Must go and oil my ball-bearings.
