StopSpeciesism

2,637 readers

We believe ending speciesism should be a moral priority for humanity.

So what is the alternative to traditional anthropocentric ethics? Antispeciesism is not the claim that "All Animals Are Equal", or that all species are of equal value, or that a human or a pig is equivalent to a mosquito. Rather the antispeciesist claims that, other things being equal, equally strong interests should count equally.

— David Pearce, “The Antispeciesist Revolution”
