Good point. We have to remember we are animals (but not just animals). When we forget that, for some reason, we behave worse than animals, we get all spiritually superior over other species, then the environment, then each other. So in a way, perhaps the devil is also "Dancing Animal Master" (that famous neolithic cave painting of the upright animal with horns), he is the lord and master of all animals, and we, being animals, are included.
Crowley never ever taught to supress the animal urges but to strengthen, contol and use them wisely.
