Intra-Species-Favourtism


In the Singapore drama series ‘Home Truly’ (回家), is a guy who works on a fish farm (kelong). He is portrayed to have no qualms rearing fish for the slaughter. However, he also personally bred two fishes, treating them like family. He grieves over them when he thought they were killed, while being indifferent to all the other fish being regularly sold, killed and eaten. What is this? Intra-species-favourtism? How very small the circle of love! Why not extend it to encompass all other fish, and all other beings?
