What is speciesism?
I have already defined it on google but could simply the definition?
Speciesism is the belief that one species is better than others. Usually that means that human beings believe that homo sapiens is better than other animals.

Hannah, you need to read Orwell's Animal Farm. Fun reading.
Speciesism refers to the ideological belief that one species (typically humans) is inherently superior to and has the right to dominate other species. It is a form of discrimination akin to racism or sexism, but based on the distinction of species rather than race or gender.
To simplify the definition, you can think of speciesism as the bias or prejudice that favors one species (usually humans) over others, leading to the unequal treatment and exploitation of non-human animals. It involves the belief that because humans are a different species, they have the right to use and abuse other species for their own purposes, without considering the interests or welfare of those animals.
If you ever need to simplify complex definitions or concepts, you can try breaking them down into simpler terms or using relatable examples to help grasp the underlying meaning.
