Speciesism, according to Peter Singer, refers to the discrimination against beings based solely on their species membership, often privileging humans over non-human animals. He argues that this bias is morally indefensible, as it fails to consider the capacity for suffering and interests shared by all sentient beings. Singer advocates for equal consideration of interests, regardless of species, emphasizing that the ability to experience pain or pleasure should be the basis for moral consideration. Thus, speciesism is seen as analogous to other forms of discrimination, such as racism or sexism.
