Watching Citizens of the Earth and All That Is One and having to stop every few minutes to soothe my emotions, so who gave people the right to treat other species, even their own species, like this? It is not wrong for nature to obey the laws of survival, but what human beings do is just to obey the laws of existence? How many are beyond the laws of survival? When people enjoy the food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment brought by other species, apart from taking it for granted, how much gratitude and respect do people have? Humans are high-level animals, but in the final analysis, in the system of the earth and even the entire cosmos, humans are just a type of animals.

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.
