From the Paper:
"What is so special about humans anyway? From Mother Nature's point of view all parts of the ecosystem are equal. And when I say equal, I mean that the basic principal of equality does not require equal oridentical treatment; it requires equal consideration. We all evolved from the same beginnings, we are all made of the same stuff and we all belong to the same biosphere. The world wasn't made for any one species. It's here for all of us. And it is nothing but pure arrogance and prejudice to think that we are the pinnacle of creation, that we have the right to treat the rest of creation anyway we want. It's time we recognize that we are a part of nature, not lords over it. "More papers on An Argument Against Speciesism:
