Singer applies the same logic to animals: for example, animals cannot comprehend a political candidate's platform then express a preference for one of the candidates ( just as men cannot bear children ), thus in democratic society, the only species that should have the right to vote is a species that has an ability to vote effectively ( and even then, the children of that species, who are similar to animals in their inability to comprehend the differences between political candidates, are not given the right to vote, just as animals aren't -- yet this is no reason to deprive children and animals of other types of rights such as the right not to be molested or wantonly killed, as Singer argues ); this is not the same as speciesism or ageism or ( as in the example regarding the right to give birth ) genderism, it is a mere concession to reality and the characteristics possessed by each species ( or gender, or adults versus children ).
