Speciesism, or discrimination or prejudice against individuals based on their species, is a term typically used to describe preferential treatment of humans over other animals. It is a concept often discussed in the context of animal rights and welfare. The term was coined by philosopher Richard Ryder in 1970 and is similar to other forms of discrimination, such as racism and sexism. The idea behind speciesism is that humans tend to value the lives and interests of their own species more than those of other species, even if other species have an equal or greater capacity to feel pain and suffering. Speciesism manifests in various forms, such as using animals for food, clothing, and entertainment, or conducting scientific experiments without considering the welfare or interests of animals. The concept of speciesism challenges the assumption that humans are inherently superior to other animals and advocates for greater consideration of the rights and well-being of all animals. Not A Shooting Target Practice is an educational poster intended as a collective reminder of how we humans have figured out how to exploit nature's generosity and that, if done rationally, fair exchange is possible. When humans become greedy and assert ownership, it becomes difficult to sort it out. Your actions should not come at the expense of species. We should end speciesism.

The (Not A) Shooting Target Practice is a PSA Poster to create a collective recollection about how we, as humans, have figured out ways to take advantage of nature's generosity and when done reasonably there is a fair exchange. It's when humans get greedy and assume ownership that it gets tricky to sort out. Your action shouldn't cost a species. We should end speciesism.
