People who abuse animals, beyond normalised speciesism. Like kicking dogs or cats. Or wearing fur. Or... OK normalised speciesism also makes me lose respect to someone when they know about it and they don't care.

What is normalized speciesism?

[-] Urbanfox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's treating animals in a way that you wouldn't treat humans because it's wrong/illegal.

Keeping them as pets, breeding them, caging them (slavery)

Eating them, or using their products (cannibalism)

Wearing their skins (is there even a name for that?)

I came across it when I was young as a family member worked in animal activism and was horrified that I had a pet.
