>yukkuris is not a living creature I wonder if it's just being harsh or it's just a weird way to say they aren't natural or are basically talking food golems?
It's probably that common excuse among abyuser. 生物, depending on how you read it, means different. Ikimono means living creature. Namamono is the term you use for raw perishable food such as raw meat.
Abyuser often mockingly say yukkuri are not living creature, they're just raw food.
I see, I always wondered why such words, again, since yu's are pretty much artificial in nature (even in magical standars) and one could consider them talking foodstuff golems, the whole "NOT LIVING" was had been a form of underlining their artifical nature but just being lost in translation.
I mean, a sentient robot could be considered alive but it's still a robot, an artificial entity.
I don't think it's about "justifying" but just typical scorn and belitteling of some creature they detest and enjoy to crush, kinda how there are real life cases of people hating a specific species of animal so much that they consider them monsters instead of animals, deserving to be hunted and such.
More about hate and looking down, than a half assed moral justification.

Yukkuri have the same level of intelligence as a young kid. But lacking yukkuri can't even speak.
Well, that's convenient.
If you don't have that pretentious nice kid, you also don't have that kind of scum who will talk behind your back.
Then their are the lacking yukkuri who can't speak.
You can only know their feelings from the tone of their voices and their behavior. This is not much different from usual pet animals.
Yukkuri are not living creatures, so you don't need to train them.
But the words they speak make humans get attacked to them.
It's not a rare case for a pet owner to lose their patience with a yukkuri's foul-mouthiness.
