Use whom for people and which for non-humans.

Your punctuation of 2 and 3 is wrong.

See if you can spot another mistake in #2.

Try again.
 
Please look at them again. Are they correct now?Can I use whom for animals in the third sentence?

They are not correct. Commas are not followed by capital letters.

Check the numbers in #2, and the verb tenses.

Do you think dogs are people?
 
There's a capitalization error in sentences 2 and 3.

Please don't edit the original post again (because it makes the thread hard to understand); instead, post corrected sentences in a reply to this post.
