Or is this another Goofy/Pluto kind of thing, a riddle that will plague humankind forever?
And is Didymus short of Epididymus? The thing that carries sperm in your ballsac? Ewwww.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
It's like Donald Duck and his family eating turkeys and other birds for dinner. It's really horrific, but Disney and the other entertainment corporations love this kind of stuff, apparently.
Goofy and Pluto-thing also describes things nicely, there ARE sentient dogs that look identical to Pluto in that Universe, but they mostly reside on other planets (seen in some stories though).
When you start anthropomorphizing animals, but trying to make everything else 'the same as this world's people', you run into these very weird problems. Just watch the movie 'Howard the Duck' to see what I mean. On one hand, he's anthropomorphized duck, but anatomically, it's closer to some kind of human-duck hybrid. When it gets sexually excited, its head feathers stand uip..
I still wonder why it's called "Playduck" and not "Playboy" - it's not like "Playboy" is called "Playhuman", and so on. Why do ducks have humanlike chest assets, when in reality, they don't..
In a world where people have a schitzophrenic view of animals - on one hand, they love their pets, but in other, they cruelly murder other, similar animals and eat their flesh and see nothing wrong with this kind of two-faced view of animals, they shouldn't try antropomorphizing animals, or they will run into big problems.
How do you explain to kids that Donald Duck eats duck for dinner? How do you explain the whole Madagascar dilemma, where the lion is a beast, but anthroed at the same time, but still wants to eat animals, but now eats fish... (which would probably not be enough for a lion anyway)
This world also worships the beast carnivores that eat other animals, so it's quite big a mess, morally speaking, and the whole anthropomorphizing trend just kills any logic or sanity when it comes to treating animals well.. why should we bother treating dogs well if horses are ridden on without their consent and cows and pigs and birds are murdered against their consent and without any anesthetic..
