Speciesism is the belief that one species, typically humans, is superior to others, leading to the discrimination against non-human animals based on their species. This concept parallels racism or sexism, where individuals are judged and treated differently based on inherent characteristics. Sentience refers to the capacity to experience feelings, sensations, and emotions, suggesting that beings capable of experiencing pleasure and suffering deserve moral consideration. Recognizing sentience in various species challenges speciesism by advocating for the ethical treatment of all sentient beings, regardless of their species.

What is the definition of speciesism?
Speciesism is the granting, acknowledging, or withholding of rights and privileges on the basis of species.Speciesism can be a form of unfair discrimination when the granting or withholding of rights and privileges is based on morally irrelevant criteria. For example, many believe that it is wrong to kill and eat a pet dog or cat, but they think it's perfectly fine to kill and eat a pig, cow, chicken, or fish. There is no morally relevant criteria that would make such a distinction between those species fair. The only basis for this unfair discrimination is speciesism.

WHAT IS SPECIESISM ACCORDING TO PETER SINGERS ACCOUNT?
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.
