On Aug 26, marked the World Day for the End of Speciesism. This is the idea that human beings are superior to animals, to the detriment of their well-being. However, this paradigm has been challenged in recent years throughout the world, as evidenced by several laws aimed at granting more rights to animals.
“Let’s put an end to speciesism.” That’s the message behind this international day and movement which aims to abolish the hierarchy between species and to advocate anti-speciesism. In other words, to combat the alleged superiority of humans over animals. A hierarchy that shows up in daily practices, from the meat we eat to the clothes we wear, as well as through tourist activities or shows designed to entertain us.
