there is no reason that cats could not play the flute. They would just have to use the pads of there fingers rather then there claws, and the claws on most anthros would get in the way of that type of instrument anyway so why pick on cats? huh, well huh, can you tell me that?

Specism will not only end up becoming legitimate, but even surpass racism in its potential for genocide because we humans have an extremely strong tendency to prioritize our feelings (feelings of a lesser nature get pushed back by a greater feeling) and may even see them as a greater competition than other humans. The result is a member of the KKK or neo-nazis comparing a Black human to a non-human sapient with something like "they may be a n****r, but at least they're human."

We humans currently take ourselves for granted because we are the only sapient creatures on Earth and the presence of non-human biological sapience might end up making us see ourselves more clearly as human, thus reducing interhuman racism.
