Humans are literally a categorical subset within the taxonomical kingdom of "animals".
"People" who argue that humans aren't animals are clearly vegetables :p /s
So then if animals do it then its the same as humans doing it?
Yes. Everything else is only because we perceive it differently, notably culturally. And that depends on the individual, time and culture that percieves it. And our perceptions aren't always good but are built from other things including misconceptions.
So when a human rapes or murders and eats another human that is natural becuase animals do this?
Or maybe animals and humans are not the same and we dont get to pick and chose for memes...
It's something that happens naturally, yes. I'm not picking and choosing nature. We can decide what we want to be, including the ability to chose to not be a bigot.
Animals frequently murder those other than themselves, so then is what could be considered bigotry also natural? If this is all natural then what is the whole point of calling things natural?
