Lord Blurr: Good question, but if you think about it if you said cow mammal it would sound wierd. And if you tualy object just say tuna instead.lol Tdog: In the way some people are vegetarian yet choose to eat fish, we choose to define this inferior subject because we can denegrate it to a level edible enough to our taste. In addition the stresses upon the word "tuna" are quite short, with the unstressed syllable first and the stressed afterwards. Its relatively short and unemphasized vowels makes it sound banal to say another word with terse syllables following it: fish. The monosyllabic word "cow" draws out into a much longer, more emphatic sound thus eliminating the need and possibility of even having to add another word to complete it. The word mammal is bisyllabic, making it all the more unnesseccary. Chicken has short vowels yet the the "ch" sound makes it appear much longer. Inputing "bird" with the "ir" has the same effect and thus is not needed. Personally, my main idea is that it distinguishes people from fish. I know several people named Tuna and the human population, the dictators of language, choose not to call my acquaintances Tuna man.

Fdog123:

I'm going to have to agree with TDOG here. In many cases of the known tangent universe one finds themself asking questions such as these. Why is the sky blue? How is a rainbow made? And where does rain come from? Well in this answer, the absence of evidence is the answer. From what can be elucidated by Tdogs previous answer know the banalities of Earth and society itself lead the question to its answer. In order to exemplify and accuentate this idea we have to realize the superiority in all forms of life.
