I'm not delving any further in the other questions as they have nothing to do with the topic at hand, and to me these political/philosophical discussions are boring as fuck. Sorry, I know some people do, but I just don't like them.
However:
I just don't see that.
Because I am speciest. I am part of the human species and I have a strong preference to them alive over dead. I want to talk with them, have sex with them, eat with them, live with them, work with them. Killing them, or eating them, not so much. Unless there is a very good reason for it. I don't have that with any other animal, specially the sex part.
However:

I just don't see that.
