Some philosophers and activists have been sceptical about the relevance of pursuing animal justice to progress racial justice. Routinely, these sceptics have argued that allying animal and racial justice struggles is politically unfeasible, counterproductive, distractive and disruptive for the achievement of racial justice. The conclusion of these sceptics is that animal justice is either a barrier or irrelevant to racial justice and, as such, activists should not ally both struggles. In this article, I wish to contest the arguments that forward the idea that these struggles should not be addressed together, especially in the case of addressing anti-Black racial injustices. I offer a negative argumentative strategy to forward my thesis; namely, I offer reasons to reject the arguments that are sceptical about the relevance of addressing animal justice to achieve progress in racial justice. I contend that racial injustice is partly fuelled by the capacity contract. The capacity contract, in turn, is intertwined with the way humans treat animals. Owing to the fact that speciesism fuels the contract that incites racism, then addressing speciesism is instrumentally relevant for overcoming racial injustices. Moreover, I demonstrate in this article that not only are there various ways that anti-racist and anti-speciesist struggles are interconnected, but also that the project of addressing them together is politically feasible and desirable.

一些哲学家和激进主义者对追求动物正义与促进种族正义的相关性持怀疑态度。通常，这些怀疑论者认为，将动物和种族正义斗争结盟对实现种族正义在政治上是不可行，适得其反，分散注意力和破坏性的。这些怀疑论者的结论是，动物正义不是种族正义的障碍，还是与种族正义无关的东西，因此，活动家不应该为这两种斗争而结盟。在本文中，我希望对以下论点提出异议，这些论点提出了不应同时解决这些斗争的想法，特别是在解决反黑人种族不公正的情况下。我提供了一种否定性的论点策略来转发我的论文。即 我提供理由拒绝那些对解决动物正义与实现种族正义进步的相关性持怀疑态度的论点。我认为种族不公正部分是由于能力合同而加剧的。反过来，容量合同与人类对待动物的方式交织在一起。由于事实是种族主义助长了煽动种族主义的契约，因此解决种族主义在克服种族不公方面具有重要意义。此外，我在本文中证明，不仅有各种方式使反种族主义和反种主义的斗争相互联系，而且在政治上是可行的并且合乎需要的解决方案。与人类对待动物的方式交织在一起。由于事实是种族主义助长了煽动种族主义的契约，因此解决种族主义在克服种族不公方面具有重要意义。此外，我在本文中证明，不仅有各种方式使反种族主义和反种主义的斗争相互联系，而且在政治上是可行的并且合乎需要的解决方案。与人类对待动物的方式交织在一起。由于事实是种族主义助长了煽动种族主义的契约，因此解决种族主义在克服种族不公方面具有重要意义。此外，我在本文中证明，不仅有各种方式使反种族主义和反种主义的斗争相互联系，而且在政治上是可行的并且合乎需要的解决方案。
