| Résumé : | This chapter addresses three questions about speciesism. In response to the question “What is speciesism?”, I define speciesism as discrimination based on species. I then give a positive answer to the question “Does speciesism exist?”. In fact, many people discriminate against individuals based on their species. Finally, I address the question “Is speciesism fair or unfair?” Like racism and sexism, speciesism is wrong because it violates the principle of equal treatment, which requires us to treat individuals equally well absent a morally relevant difference. |
