Except they don't, because insects and corpses are animals too.

I get the point you're trying to make but it falls flat if you peek in on that part of the world once in a while.

@drwho well technically corpses are dead animals.... that don't burp and fart methane... I mean for a short while they do. This is the problem with trees too. If we think let's plant trees to absorb the carbon - when the tree dies the carbon is released into the environment.
