Stuart: "People who use the word "specieists" are manifestly ashamed to be human. But that kind of shame comes from within one's self and not from anything outside of them. Nevertheless, we get moral indictments from these types who can't see that they are either animals themselves (and not subject to morality) or they are above them in some meaningful way."

People who make these kinds of unsupported judgements obviously have something to hide. It is precisely this kind of destructive, self-centred, arrogant, overly-simplistic, high-and-mighty comment that would make me embarrassed to be human if I thought any higher power were watching us. Or, I suppose, if I thought any other species had reduced their understanding of life and interconnectedness to the extent that they operated within a morality framework and felt the need to pass judgement on us.
