Humans are animals and animals' main function is survival, which does not require morals. Hence, a human being does not need morals.

How do animals facilitate their survival? How does a human facilitate their survival? Why bother using the animal as a primary? Animals don't wear clothes, humans are animals, therefore humans don't need clothes?

Also doesn't this fall into a naturalistic fallacy? Just because man can act for their survival doesn't mean they explicitly should. As opposed to an animal which lacks the means to merely sit around, wallow in filth and choose to stagnate and die.

All strawman arguments and whataboutisms. You have no actual counterarguments.

Distinguishing man from animal isn't a strawman but that's kinda funny.
