Aren't we also "just" animals as well though?

(Not defending either side, I just really dislike it when statements suggest we aren't also literally animals that somehow figured out to think slightly more than others...)

Technically correct is the best correct. We are animals!

We are animals in a very literal sense, but justifying an immoral act because it's natural for animals to do it opens the door to justifying other immoral acts because animals do them. Humans are animals, but we're uniquely the only animals capable of choosing to act ethically.
