Because we speak!

Our throats are particularly sensitive to choking because of how they’ve had to adapt to speech.

And, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like animals have, like, tougher throats or something. They seem to be able to eat whatever the fuck they want and we choke on our own spit (or *I* choke on my own spit).
