Synopsis

Using satire and sarcasm, the film evaluates and refutes 18 arguments often cited by believers in human superiority over other species. The most fundamental of these arguments is human consciousness. The film refutes Cartesian dualism, the source of the separation of mind and body advocated by Rene Descartes. Descartes believed that non-human species were not conscious, therefore they could not feel pain. This view is challenged by Dr. Rollin.

Dr. Ryder presents his theory of speciesism, a prejudice similar in result to racism.

The film suggests that many cultures around world have higher level of reverence for non-human species than Abrahamic religions .
