	Karen Davis's Review of Speciesism
		In her 2001 book, Animal Equality: Language and Liberation, Joan Dunayer shows how the English language promotes speciesist attitudes, encouraging people to view and talk about nonhuman animals as “its” rather than hes and shes, along with many other injustices.
		Arguing that sentience, the ability to experience, should be the criterion for full and equal moral consideration of any animal, human or nonhuman, Dunayer argues that the animal advocacy movement is riddled with conceptual loopholes that preserve the status quo.
		In her new book, Speciesism, Dunayer critiques speciesism, which she calls a “a failure, in attitude or practice, to accord any nonhuman being equal consideration and respect.”
