I was also able to find a pdf version of one part of the Derrida piece on JSTOR, if someone wants to check it out.

The Animal That Therefore I Am (More to Follow)
Jacques Derrida, David Wills
Critical Inquiry, Vol. 28, No. 2 (Winter, 2002), pp. 369-418
Published by: The University of Chicago Press
Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1344276


Also, noting this is a shorter 50 page version, we might be able to combine it for a larger discussion on philosophy and animal-ness. Eh?

Like:
DESCARTES: Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason, and Seeking Truth in the Sciences (Chapter 5: here)

HUME: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (Of the Reason of Animals: here)

DARWIN: The Descent of Man (Chapter 3/4: Comparison of the Mental Powers of Man and the Lower Animals: here)

ALLEN: Animal Consciousness (here)

CHOMSKY: Human Language and Other Semiotic Systems (can't find it online yet - has to be there) (Semiotica. Volume 25, Issue 1-2, Pages 31–44)
