| Sumario: | This article critically examines anti-speciesism, a school of thought that serves to support animal rights advocacy. After briefly reviewing the history of this approach I will comment on the main features of the animal turn. In my view, there is nothing really new or substantially anti- status quo/counter-hegemonic in these claims. First of all, Western thought is revising -within its own horizon of understanding- what many indigenous societies have experienced in their everyday lives for a long time: attributing humanity to animals and experiencing an interconnection between beings. In addition, the animal turn of thought does not offer a clear political horizon, nor does it consider what would happen if an animal right were to conflict with the survival of a specific human group. |
