Closer?
Great song!
Closer... I won't link it here, as its pretty explicit, but I love that song. (Its terribly inappropriate.)

That song railed people harder than some of Manson's songs. It was better, too.
I am going to totally look that up if it's a bit rude!!
A bit crude more so than rude.
What @McBell said. I would call them utensils (in this case utensils for eating, but there are other utensils as well). Other eating utensils include chop sticks, fingers, skewers, tongs, toothpicks, cocktail sticks, drinking straws. Your forks and spoons can also be made of silver, gold, plastic or wood. Are they still utensils?
And if you were sophisticated enough, you'd never imagine your forks and spoons to be nearly enough! You'd need varieties of them to eat properly:
- Butter knife
- Cake fork
- Soup spoon
- Crab cracker
- Crab fork
- Fish knife
- Fondue fork
- Grapefruit knife
- Grapefruit spoon
- Lobster pick
- Snail tongs and forks
- Nutcracker
- Ice cream scoop
- Tongs for:
- Sugar
- Asparagus
- Honey dipper
- Meat claws (used to shred barbecue meats such as brisket)

I will take your lack of response as a NO. I was fairly confident that this was going to be the outcome, but I take no pleasure in being right.
It is incredibly sad to see somebody so bitter, and I suspect, hate filled.

A complete non-sequitur. And where did I mention anything about either evolved or gods? In any case, the Piraha are just as human as I am, and I am just as human as the Sambia of Papua New Guinea and King Charles III.

The pig probably tastes a lot better, I assume.
Unfortunately. Plants are so much better than animals. Animals are... urgh.
The discovery of symbolic tools among Homo naledi, including a fetal fossil holding a writing tool, suggests that even pre-human species might have had beliefs in something beyond life. This indicates that the search for transcendental meaning is deeply rooted in our evolution, not just a matter of anatomical analogy. So, even though you didn't mention God specifically, the issue of transcendental beliefs is relevant and complex... Metaphysical beings cannot belong to the animal kingdom.
Really? Why not?
And what, exactly, is a "metaphysical being?" The word itself simply means "before physics," but that doesn't tell you much, except that it makes an assumption that it immediately cannot validate -- that there is anything before existence. As the Existentialist philosophers say, "existence precedes essence."

It all seriousness I don't think the question, "Are you an animal?" is a serious yes or no question. It's more like asking me "Coffee or tea?" where I will always answer is "Yes, please." However, if the question is rephrased, "Are you a person or an animal?" then the answer is a definitive "both."
