eating meat is speciesism because it involves
sacrificing the most important interests of

"speciesism" a real thing like racism or sexism?
Why or why not? Is there a compelling reason you
can give why our preference for meat dishes is
more important than an animals interest in not
being killed (and raised in captivity)?

animals (some of whom have that ability)? What

moral consideration and those that should not?
