Many suspect that they are humanimal without knowing exactly what kind they are.  This is understandable given the poor quality of the information about Humanimals.  There is a tendency to conflate physical and mental states.  Large udders is a good physical indication of a cow but if you mostly want them beat black and blue you are mentally a pig.  If you are overweight people are inclined to think pig but if you have an insatiable need to be milked you are mentally a cow.  The humanimal in general faces such a differentiation.  Although physically human, mentally humanimals in general do not feel comfortable as being thought of as human.  You will often find they recognized early on that they do not fit in with humans but they usually cannot quite figure out exactly why.  This leads to some problems as they try to pretend they are humans.  Many not figuring out the source of their problems until much later.  We are going to focus on the mental/emotional state in this particular discussion.

The cow, or hucow, is definitely a fan favorite.  Representing peek female fertility it cuts right to the core of every animalistic impulse and can even cross genders on occassion.  Celebrated in antiquity as a fertility goddess the primary desires are for producing babies and milk.  As a result they tend to have sweet submissive dispositions.  The ones that cannot produce children still have a strong desire to produce milk as a means to be useful and contribute what they can.  They accept mild bondage, pain, and humiliation, as necessary and many enjoy those aspects as they exercise the cows submissive tendencies.  Orgasms are only permissable while being milked or bred.  When not being milked they perform a variety of simple domestic duties.

The pig is also popular.  Representing the depths of our depravity there is not much that the pig does not revel in.  It craves humiliation and can often be trained to cum from pain.  Not a gender specific role, pigs can be found anywhere doing the nastiest things and most extreme things that imagination can dream up.  They show their dedication to their owners through their personal debasement.  Watch them at your own risk for their delighted debauchery is contagious.

The pony is an exotic species.  Combining bondage with showmanship and utility the pony somehow manages to maintain an air of dignity while possessing none at all.  With a whip decorating the pony ass, vibrating implements in its ass (and cunt if female) underneath a chastity belt, with arms bound, head bound and bit in mouth keeping the pony's head level, the pony nevertheless manages to trot forward with knees high almost regardless of the load it is pulling.  Pony's are not allowed orgasm, except on some sort of special occassion.  They are for show and sometimes even racing.  They demonstrate the opulence of their owners.

The bull is the male counterpart to the cow.  He has two purposes: breeding and working.  He breeds the cows and helps with many of the back-breaking labor involved in operating a farm.  There are many physical tasks that are suitable for one such as this with limited mental capacity.  On a farm there is always dirt to move, clay to dig, logs to haul, firewood to split, and far from the least important: cows to breed.  This species is practical to have around but you do not want too many at a time because they tend to be rambunctious and short-sighted, which does not make a great combination.  In otherwords Strong and Dumb.  This makes them likely to get into destructive fights that wind up damaging livestock and property.  When correctly trained they are not only a crucial help on the farm but also do an amazing job of keeping the cows pacified.

Finally there is the pet.  This is the most enigmatic of the humanimals as what defines the pet is not so much their duty as their state of being.  A pet, you see, has usually been subject to about two years worth of dehumanization training focused on removal of their personhood, ie. their human identity.  Whatever residual humanity remains has atrophied and is usually so fragmented that it does not exist in any meaningful way.  This is an extreme state of being, not to be taken lightly.  This journey can only be begun with the explicit understanding that all responsibility for the humanimal is the hands of the owner and that this is a lifetime bond.  Pets must be cared for indefinitely and cannot ever be abandoned.  For instance, should the owner die with pet(s) in their charge, there must be provisions in the will that indicate who will take care of the pet.  The pet will have signed over Power of Attorny before the start of training so the legal authority to determine the pets fate is in the hands of their owner.  They will not understand what is happening and so must be protected more than any other humaninal.

Usage of the pet varies wildly as well and is based on what tendencies and inclinations the person had before becoming a pet.

There are several varieties of humanimal species.  Hopefully you now know better what each one is, what its' key characteristics are, and whether that particular humanimal applies to you.  All the best finding your place outside of society.
