A gesture to the fact that allowing Speciesism to persist without some type of government over watch to keep it in check may over time greatly increase the chances of major disease pandemics happening, including diseases that have the ability to kill large numbers of people.
Dan: Its really sad that so many people have died from Covid-19.
Baxten: It is sad, but what’s even sadder, at least in my opinion, is the fact that all of this may have been averted if the Obama and Trump Presidential Administrations had done a better job trying to pass regulations to reduce the impact of Speciesism by doing things like requiring pet insurance to provide coverage for preventive health care visits and pressure states to pass regulations to reform their animal healthcare systems to make them more effective, accessible, and cost efficient.
Dan: That part I also agree with you on. Disease outbreaks like this are Speciesism’s hallmark after all.

The processes by which society establishes new norms, expectations, and standards, and in some cases existing norms and standards are replaced, in regards to what is and is not acceptable in religious settings. These processes happen in various settings including schools, colleges, businesses, churches, news channels, state governments, federal governments, and homes. These processes can greatly impact how people think, act, and behave in various religious situations.
Yuliana: I wish more religions would be more supportive of giving women equal rights and protections.
Winston: Regrettably that may take a while to occur, the amount of time in which religious normalization occurs in many religions is relatively slow. It could take many years for those types of changes to happen, but the process might be accelerated if more national governments gave women equal rights to men, which would help pressure them into doing it.
Yuliana: I just wish it would happen faster.
Winston: We can always hope that some day more religions will be more supportive of women’s right.
Yuliana: I agree. Hopefully some day more of them will.
