Twenty-five years ago, I created the Taxpayer Protection Pledge at the federal level. Then I brought it to the state and local level.

Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race, sex, age, or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans. ↗
