Earthlings

Some ignorant people surmise that animals with less intelligence than us are more numb to the perception of pain than humans. In fact, we don't know what animals really "feel" at all. Just know that they are also governed by the laws of nature, and before the unnatural death, they will inevitably struggle until they take their last breath. But it would be absurd to say that animals do not suffer under torture. Pain is also a real sensation to animals, transmitted through nerves to the brain. In addition to the nerves associated with intelligence, there are visual, olfactory, tactile and auditory nerves. In some animals, these nerves are more evolved than humans.

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.
