Citizens of the Earth: noun, refers to all the inhabitants of the earth. Since we all live on the same planet, all sentient beings are citizens of the earth. As citizens of the planet, there is no sexism, racism and speciesism among each other. It contains every life on earth, warm-blooded or cold-blooded, mammals, vertebrates or invertebrates, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and humans. Therefore, humans are not the only species on this planet, millions of other creatures, like humans, have co-evolved and lived together on this planet. However, human beings delusionally monopolize the earth and often treat other kinds of inhabitants or life on the earth like things. This is the so-called species discrimination. The Spanish Bullfighting Festival is the same as racism and sexism. Speciesism is a kind of prejudice, or an unjust attitude taken because of private individuals, bullying other races for the benefit of their own race. When any kind of life suffers, we have a moral duty to think about that suffering. Regardless of the nature of life, the principle of equality requires that if one life is tormented, it means that all beings suffer the same. Racists will undermine the principle of equality for the benefit of their own group. When their own interests conflict with the interests of other races, sexism is for the interests of their own gender and undermines the principle of equality. In the same way, speciesists place the interests of their own species over These cases of discrimination differ in content but in the same form, above the wider interests of other species. Although in the human family we recognize that mutual respect is a moral duty (each person is independent" Human", not an inanimate object) When the powerful treat the weak as an inanimate object, it undermines the moral responsibility of human beings to respect each other, rapists rape innocent victims, pedophiles Children sexually assaulted, slave owners treated slaves, in all of these incidents, those with rights control and deprive those who are weaker, and perhaps the same is true of humans with other animals or other inhabitants of the earth, no doubt, humans and animals They are not the same in all aspects, but there is the sameness in life, just wearing different faces, even if these animals can't have as many desires as humans, even if these animals don't understand like us humans. everything; However, we all share some of the same needs as they do, we all perceive some of the same things, we all desire food, water, shelter, and friendship, and we all want freedom of movement and avoidance of pain. This kind of desire is shared by non-human animals and humans. Like humans, in terms of understanding, many non-human animals can also understand the world in which they were born and grew up. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive. So, despite many differences, there are still many similarities like humans, these animals also have incredible conscious ability, like us humans, they are not just existing, they can also be aware of their own existence, just like us, They have their own unique consciousness of life. Basically, other beings have limbs and feet like humans, but humans can walk straight, while pigs, cows, chickens or turkeys can only walk on the ground. What hope? How should we treat them in an ethical context? To answer these questions, we must first recognize our solidarity with animals. This video will show five aspects of how animals serve humans, which at least we should not forget

Earthlings quotes

  • [first lines]

    title card: earth-ling n. - One who inhabits the earth.

    Narrator: Since we all inhabit the earth, we are all considered earthlings. There is no sexism, racism, or speciesism in the term 'earthling'. It encompasses each and every one of us: warm- or cold-blooded, mammal, vertebrate or invertebrate, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and human alike.

  • Narrator: It is the human earthling who tends to dominate the earth, oftentimes treating other fellow earthlings and living beings as mere objects. This is what is meant by 'speciesism'. By analogy with racism and sexism, speciesism is a prejudice or attitude or bias in favor of the interests of the members of one's own species and against those of members of other species.
