"Note that the phrase refers to animals specifically in the colloquial "non-sapient beings" sense."

"Animals" colloquially refers to non-human mammals, not non-sapient beings in general.

Anyone care to comment on just how low on the totem pole "animal" applies? I mean, can they still use the term if they were swatting mosquitoes? Or fishing on-camera? Pouring salt on slugs?

Only the curious have, if they live, a tale worth telling at all.
