Its not socially meaningful, because we neither can communicate with them, nor reproduce with them (the purpose of life), or do any other common activity.
There's a collective beyond the species - the animal kingdom. As I argued, the irreducible foundation of each and every animal. Your "species" is a false step politically, it is the non-community that never was and never will be universal to its members.
The species is the framework in which reproducing (see: passing down genes Snake) happens. It sets limits to what the genepool can be in a normal social group, and beyond this there is no natural way to commit to the purpose of life.
The subspecies is the framework in which reproducing (see: passing down genes Snake) happens. It sets limits to what the genepool can be in a normal social group, and beyond this there is no natural way to commit to the purpose of life.
