World Day Against Speciesism
 |
Now this connotation of increased importance of any species over another is pretty much a human contrivance ... I feel likely created by peta and other faulty rights groups attempting to place human attributes on animals or plants or whatever ...
I personally feel that man was endowed with dominion over the Earth and that includes all animals in compliance with those laws layed out in Leviticus.
The entirety of "The day being designed to remind people that speciesism, like racism and sexism, has no place in a civilized society." is about as faulty as someone telling me I can't have a piece of meat or partake of vegetables because even though they are of lower phyla in the big scheme of things I should treat them as equals.
There are companion animals. There are food animals. Some animals cross boundaries and are companion animals up to that point food becomes scarce.
At any rate, peta can take a flying leap and I don't partake of attributing high order attributes to lesser species.
Food animals are simply that. Food.
