According to Wikipedia: "Speciesism involves the assignment of different values, rights, or special consideration to individuals solely on the basis of their species membership."
A non-speciesist who kills other animals to eat them would be a priori okay with killing humans to eating them.
- Nursie 13y agoSo a non-speciesist also considers every act of animal-on-animal violence in the natural world to be tantamount to murder and cannibalism?
- belorn 13y agoIn what way is Speciesism connected with canibalism by any species? But regardless, eating humans is unhealthy and thus contrary to evolution. Its the same reason why animals that live for a long time (~100) rarely have many enemies, especially if they are omnivores. Evolutionary, it is better to eat meat that do not had years to build up on heavy metals and toxins. So to put it to a simple point, regardless of the morality with cannibalism, humans would still not eat other humans. There is no -ism needed to explain why we do not eat sulfur, or drink mercury.
