For people who thinks insects are not animals, explain why?

I believe insects are animals, because they are. I found it pretty amusing when on a British soap called Emmerdale, a man who was supposed to be a vet was singing to a baby and he sang "The animals went in 3 by 3, the wasp, the ant and the bumblebee.... well... technically speaking none of those are animals...". I found it pretty hilarious.

A lot of people are uneducated about wildlife. In my dad's line of work, he often sees people who don't come from very good backgrounds to say the least. He often sees people who don't know what magpies, squirrels, and other animals are.

Just thought I should say that.

Many people confuse the term "animals" with the term "mammals". They speak of "birds and animals". They lack the broader understanding of "animals" as any living thing that is classified in the animal kingdom.

Insects are insects and they fly. Animals are animals and they roam far and wide on the ground and in the wild.

it refers to the cells..animal cells and plant cells are different...plants have a rigid cell wall,while the animal cell has none...
