ANALYSIS: Increasingly, scholars and the media link so-called animal privilege with economic and sociological terms such as inequality and intergenerational wealth
“Squirrel privilege is real.” “Checking Privilege in the Animal Kingdom.” “Even Hermit Crabs Have Wealth Inequality.”
These headlines hail from Salon and The New York Times, respectively, and represent a growing trend among scholars and the media to tackle animal “inequality” — and also argue humans can learn important lessons about income inequality and privilege from such studies.
“Inequality is a threat to our social fabric, but it’s not just a human problem,” argued the World Economic Forum in January in a piece that connected human and non-human inequality.
Headlined “Inequality is not confined to humans. Animals are divided by privilege, too,” it was based on an essay published in Behavioral Ecology in December 2021, an essay which helped spawn a spate of recent articles on the topic.
“Mammals, fish, birds and even insects have been shown to benefit from inherited wealth and abilities,” the forum’s report stated. “…Some have a better quality of life than other members of the same species – including access to food and shelter – just because of their parents’ status.”

ok then.
File this along with the stories they run periodically, in which they report on homosexuality in the animal world.

I bet they ignore black widows — too politically incorrect. LOL
It has only been known about for a century so I guess it is about time they noticed it.
Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.
There’s a lot to be said for having to struggle for a living.
There is insect inequality too!
The snowshoe hare is a Hare Of Color in warm weather but when the snow falls, it becomes consumed with feelings of white supremacy.
The world operates on merit
Give up the equality BS
The Pilgrims did....
This has got to be Babylon Bee.
Poor educated morons have not yet figured out that the entire concept of “rights” is uniquely human.
A lion doesn’t care about your ‘rights’, nor does the chimpanzee.
It sure is. Bullwinkle has been complaining about this for years.
Now maybe someone will listen.
Scholars my ass! Most of these scholars and experts in these universities are flat out mental cases....No joke.
“it’s not just a human problem”
Calling it a “problem” implies that it requires fixing, and that it is even something that could be fixed in the first place. It doesn’t, and it can’t.
They’re going to start bussing squirrels, aren’t they?
Well, that was the first thing I checked for.
A chimpanzee at our local zoo was sticking his finger up his butt a few weeks ago. Does that make it normal for humans?
Someone needs to tell them animals don’t think like we do.
Actually, it is equality from any sort of Marxist perspective that is a fundamental threat to society. Not inequality.
Think of it as evolution in action.
In the real world, some win, some lose, and outside of the human race animals focus on winning, they focus on ensuring that THEIR OWN offspring survive.
