To promote a more open and more self-aware Applied Linguistics, we can consider how the many current and developing initiatives and resources in the field can be instruments for achieving a better world. For instance, applied linguists have examined such issues as inclusiveness (e.g., avoiding generic he) and the interface between language and environmental destruction. The purpose of this article, based on the same spirit of inclusiveness and addressing global concerns, is to highlight an observation about the instruction on the restrictive use of ``who{''} with human beings in the recent seventh edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2020), as a case in point to contribute to the wider discussion on inclusive language use and respect for nonhuman animals. We invite fellow applied linguists to reflect on this issue together.
