My guess is, that's an indication that for you animals and humans are equally important.

Good catch. I do tend to use "who" for animals. I also use "her" and "his", as opposed ot "its", if I know the gender. I tend to see animals as other beings. In this piece, we were discussing the behavior of animals as it applies to humans. It seems odd to me to then refer to them as inanimate objects. :wink:
