19701970"Speciesism" PamphletRichard D. Ryder of the Oxford Group and, later, Mellon Professor at Tulane University in 1996, penned this influential pamphlet. He writes: "Since Darwin, scientists have agreed that there is no ‘magical’ essential difference between human and other animals, biologically-speaking. Why then do we make an almost total distinction morally? If all organisms are on one physical continuum, then we should also be on the same moral continuum." <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121114004403/http://www.criticalsocietyjournal.org.uk/Archives_files/1.%20Speciesism%20Again.pdf">Read the entire pamphlet here.</a>#002147
