i honestly don't know: which is worse, objectification or animalification?

From Reuters.com:
"ROME (Reuters) - A loosening of government gaming rules means that Italians will be able to bet legally on the Miss Italy contest for the first time, upsetting contestants.

'We're people, not objects or, worse, animals,' complained Anna Prete, the 'Miss Calabria' from the southern region of the same name and one of the many finalists unhappy with the government-sponsored scheme."
I'd set up a blogpoll, but I'm rushing around getting ready for my weekend trip.

Hmmm. Well, if they aren't animals, what kingdom are they in? Are these fungal beauty contestants?
