As a vegan, what do you think of animal crackers?

Considering I am happy to eat "chicken," "beef," "duck," and "shrimp" I do not see the problem with eating animal crackers. I do have a problem that they are called crackers when they are most defiantly a cookie. I am wondering how they have gotten away with the cracker name for so long.

As evidence that they are in fact cookies I turn to wikipedia:

"In U.S. English, the name "cracker" is most often applied to flat biscuits with a savory, salty flavor, in distinction from a "cookie," which may be similar to a "cracker" in appearance and texture, but has a sweet flavor. Crackers may be further distinguished from cookies by the manner in which they are made. Crackers are made by layering dough and cookies are made in any manner a cake would be made. Crackers sometimes have cheese or spices as ingredients, or even chicken stock. Some crackers are salted, flour products."

I urge all of you out there to write to your congressperson about this issue. (It is not like there any more important issues going on right now)
