It’s just that I don’t believe in the forced division of species,

What does that even mean? “Species” isn’t an actual thing that exists, it’s a way of classifying creatures that we find useful.

one that puts us in the same cage as gorillas.

“In the same cage”? Presumably you can accept that you have some things in common with the gorilla: you both have a heart, both have lungs, both sneeze from time to time, both need to sleep, etc. The “cage” is a continuum.
