This is a really good article, I recommend everyone reading. I dont often like to compare human injustice to those of animals, but, this article brings some valid points as to why they are one in the same (mentality): Devries then asks a haunting question: “What if [our assumption of superiority] really is just a prejudice? What if we’re … one species more powerful by luck, tyrannising over all the others and not stepping back to notice what we’ve been doing?” Is the belief “animals are for our benefit” a failure of common sense, destined to be seen as horrifically cruel and as ignorant as the slave master who “knew” their “property” didn’t mourn when their children were taken from them?
