What is Speciesism

Speciesism is the belief that members of other species are inferior to the human species. Speciesism causes people to be emotionally detached from other species and makes people capable of cruelty.

What else could account for this photo? These monkeys so obviously feel and have a desire to live and be free just like we do. How else could people possibly perpetrate this, if not of the mindset that animals are lesser?

Like racism and sexism, speciesism is culturally inherited and can be overcome easily through simple consideration of the phenomenon. Once someone points out the bias, it becomes glaringly obvious, and the cruelty becomes repugnant and intolerable.

Please join the National Anti-Vivisection Society to help animals in animal labs. Animal Experimentation has always been a crude scientific method for shedding light on human health because in critical ways, animals physiology does not match our own. And now animal experimentation is even more obsolete due to high-tech, superior alternatives. Click here to learn about these alternatives and to join others in stopping animal experimentation.
