I think this is an excellent explanation of speciesism even though it comes from carnists.

I'll watch the whole video later, but the comment section is entering facepalm territory.

It's the single best video I have seen on this topic, and I have been involved for 25 years.

It's short enough, it explains with patience and clarity and it's not pushy or judgemental.

I was about to say the same thing. That was amazing. I wouldn't have thought it possible for someone who ate meat to be so unbiased and convincing on this topic.

This was a previous video from him I was impressed with at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwKrtNr76BM

On one hand, it's admirable that he is willing to admit how morally unacceptable eating meat is, but on the other hand, the fact he is still a meat eater after having such a good understanding of the topic is a bit depressing.
