I've only ever known Christians to think fish aren't animals. I'm pretty sure that's something random that the Vatican decided for bending lent rules or some shit.

at least in my life most people do not have a "reasonably underseood line" where they arbitrarily stop considering animals as animals due to their perceived lack of communication. they have a line where they stop caring about them, but that's usually about how cute they are, not about how they communicate. if more people understood koalas better they'd be way less popular. they barely have a brain, can't communicate much, sound absolutely awful...

most people just don't actually think that much about it. trivia is for the people that do think about things. and it certainly should at least have its answers checked on google.

iirc from a class I took 17 years ago (I probably don't), that is essentially correct. I believe it was to help with getting Scandinavian and/or Baltic countries to convert to Christianity. At least that's the gist of what I remember.
