So ashamed by his own ignorance that he resorts to insults and persnal attacks.
you're brilliant spirit.
anyway ...
this is what your dictionary has to say about "people"
"Animals or other beings distinct from human beings: "Rabbits and squirrels are the furry, little people of the woods."
so apperently they are talking about non human animals after all. but wait that contradicts your original definition
"race - 1. a group of people distinguished by genetically transmitted physical characteristics."
oh so they must mean rabbits are racially diverse
Sorry spirit- when dealing with dictionaries you'll be hard pressed to find consitency much less demonstrate some accurate assessment as to what they are implying. Since the definition of "animal" is both regarding humans and organisms other than humans (as does the term people) you dont have a very strong case to say that in the case of the definition that you presented they meant "animals" in the fashion that you propose.
you lose again chief- and the fact that you're getting dogged by a supposed moron is even funnier.
all that book learnin and you still cant make sense
