All sentient beings are morally equal.
“When I say ‘all sentient beings are equal,’ what I mean is that, with respect to any sentient being, we are required to give a compelling moral reason to justify or excuse imposing suffering and death on that being. I maintain that my view here is not only not controversial, but that most people actually agree with it.
What we need to see is that pleasure, amusement, or convenience cannot suffice as ‘compelling moral reasons’ for eating, wearing, or using animals. That necessarily leads us to rule out 99.99% of all animal use as morally unjustifiable from the outset.”

Speciesism is like racism/sexism/homophobia…
“There is a great deal of confusion about the concept of rights. We are often unclear what we refer to when we talk about human rights. This confusion and lack of clarity are even more pronounced when we talk about “animal rights” because some use the term to describe any welfarist regulation, and some, like me, use it as a synonym for the abolition of animal exploitation.
There is no greater proof of the confusion among animal advocates than the fact that, Peter Singer, the ‘father of the animal rights movement’ does not believe in rights for humans or nonhumans!
The concept of rights has certainly generated a great deal of philosophical discussion and debate.
But we can cut through all of this and clarify the notion of a right for purposes of understanding some basic aspects of the concept.”
