Description
Snippet
In his article, Holland argues that attempts to justify the treatment of other animals with the same interest as human beings treat deficient human beings are not well-founded. The article refutes the fact that human beings lack the moral ground to treat animals less than they do their fellow ‘normal’ humans or even deficient humans just on the basis of species. Arguments against speciesism have tried to discredit the characteristics of what makes human beings who they are by noting that defective humans are treated better than animals. The case in question for such arguments is thus why human beings will not treat normal animals the same way they treat defective humans. While this perception is important, it undermines the place of speciesism because then it could be argued that how normal humans treat defective humans has nothing to do with species.
