Human is a label we gave to ourselves. Would you discriminate over homo erectus, homo habilis - would you call them non-human animals, would it be okay to use them for medical testing, maybe for food since their flesh doesn&#x27;t have Neu5Gc?<p>The only reason why your statements are this speciesist is that no living ancestor of ours that was labeled a different species is alive today.<p>Otherwise you&#x27;d realize that species are a human construct, that there&#x27;s no better&#x2F;worse. Yes, that does mean that human as a fully moral being (morality comes from rationality) should try to minimize pain and suffering and destruction of life.<p>Animal holocaust is happening for thousands of years. Even the holocaust survivors have made comparisons and a lot of them have plant-based diets.
