| Summary: | Antispecism today violently demands the "liberation" of animals. This would mean banning all animal products, as well as practices deemed "oppressive" (horse riding, hunting, bullfighting, zoos ...), or even prefer the life of a chimpanzee to that of the mentally handicapped. The antispecist is to the vegan what the integrist is to the believer. This current has influential theorists, like Peter Singer, and politico-media relays, like the association L214 or the Animalist Party. However, the disposition of animals to suffer is not enough to give them fundamental rights on the model of human rights. It is also dishonest to enlist feminism and anti-racism in such a cause. Finally, this utopia hardly hides its links with transhumanism ... The "liberators" of animals then appear more as a symptom of a society which invents an ideology to better face the void which gnaws at it: endless productivism, agrifood industry gone mad, loss of social ties, destruction of planet ... But it is not by making the animal a new messiah that we will change our destiny--Page 4 of cover (in Google Translate). |
