What about fish?
My answer above was based on the AVM / 20 questions situation, not some high-falutin' philosophical criteria.
Viz ...
Animal - mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and birds are all included.
I seem to remember that bacteria count as animals, plankton can be either animal or vegetable but a virus, now that is difficult, but on the AVM scale, I would class them as animal.
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia
Animals have several characteristics that set them apart from other living things. Animals are eukaryotic and multicellular, which separates them from bacteria and most protists. They are heterotrophic, generally digesting food in an internal chamber, which separates them from plants and algae. They are also distinguished from plants, algae, and fungi by lacking rigid cell walls. All animals are motile, if only at certain life stages. In most animals, embryos pass through a blastula stage, which is a characteristic exclusive to animals.

It's OK to eat fish. They don't have any feelings.What about fish?
What about fish?
Animals are anything that is not a plant, rock or a microorganism. It really is that simple.Little fish I would say are fish not animals, I guess it's semantics, if you say animal I think of a mammal, ,reptiles are mammals, but there does have to be a line, or otherwise bacteria are animals, and that would just be chaos
Goodness, that takes me back. Parsley the Lion. Well, well.
