    Only once we completely stop exploiting animals can we in good faith say we’re actually materially better than any other animal species.

    Step 1: stop the exploitation of other humans. This is gonna probably be the biggest roadblock not gonna lie.

      Before we can tackle the exploitation of minorities, we need to completely end the exploitation of white people

      You’re right, and furthering the cause against exploitation of humans will help those values to be applied to animals as well. Both are exploitation and come from similar motives and perceived hierarchy. I’d say that a society that has completely ended exploitation of humans will most likely be one that has also ended exploitation of animals because the values that drive the former will also drive the latter. There are very few cases where it’s human lives OR animal lives.
