The Nicefication of Eating Meat

[Monica]

Do you know that ' speciesism' is a term made popular by by the well known ethicist Peter Singer ?  He is a eugenicist through and through.  My spiritual teacher used the term 'Nazi' to describe him which shocked me.  Peter Singer advocates infanticide, his ethics justify killing babies with down Syndrome and other congenital disabilities.

As an advocate of people with disabilities, I would never in a million years trust a single word that man says.  That is my opinion.

He is basically propagating elite ideology in his teaching and lectures as a university professor.    I just cannot fathom any reason to promote his ideas, that is my personal conviction.  

Peter Singer is the author of the book AnimalLiberation That is not to say that I disagree with the liberation of animals, I am in favor of all beings everywhere being happy and free.

No, I didn't know who coined the term specieism. But if you are going to eliminate from your vocabulary all words coined by people with views different from yours, then you'd have to eliminate probably most of the English language!

Speciesism is a perfectly logical term. Racism refers to discrimination based on race, sexism refers to discrimination based on gender, so speciesism is the logical term for discrimination based on species. I really can't think of a better term than that. I don't have to agree with all the views of whoever coined the term.

I find it curious that you seem to be very indignant that Peter Singer was a eugenicist. (I didn't know that about him, but I'm taking your word for it, for now, that it's true.) I share your indignation about eugenics and agree that it's abhorrent. But I find it curious that you find eugenics abhorrent, yet are ok with speciesism. You find killing human babies abhorrent (as do I) but, apparently, are ok with killing the babies of other species.

You have just illustrated the very definition of speciesism.
