  1. animalism

    Animalism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value, worth, and moral rights of animals. It advocates for the respect and consideration of animals' welfare and interests, often in opposition to speciesism, which places greater value on humans over other animals. Animalism can also refer to the belief or lifestyle of living in a way that is simple, instinctual and in harmony with nature, much like animals. In a political context, as in George Orwell's "Animal Farm," animalism refers to an allegorical ideology representing communism or socialism, where all animals (or people) are considered equal.
