Speciesist language reflects our societal norms that certain species are inferior to others. Words that are commonly used in our language can emphasize these norms, while the use of euphemisms can help to create a mental distance from any animal suffering. Join us as we discuss speciesist and non-speciesist language and some opportunities for how we can make shifts towards using more animal-friendly language in our everyday conversations.
