A thief is, by definition, a criminal

You are a human and a human is by definition an animal. Yet I don't call you an animal.

Your word choice isn't neutral; it leaks information about you.

  • Child rapists and serial killers are also "my fellow man", yet we seem inclined as a society to assign labels ("criminal") and punishment for such actions.
