    Are ‘don’t walk on the grass’ signs speciesist? I feel like it’s unfair that the other animals are allowed and i’m not.

      “Don’t walk on the grass” signs are usually stupid anyway because vast expanses of bare lawns with nothing but a single kind of mowed grass are almost exclusively dumber, uglier, and worse for the environment than native plants. (To actually answer your question, no, because speciesism is differential treatment without critical thought as to why they’re treated differently, and non-human animals can’t read are way cooler than humans tbh.)
