(From Greek klept- to rob, and Latin capere to seize) "Kepism is a mentality defined by the parasitic dependency of humans on non-human animals—regardless of the suffering involved." A "kep" refers to any exploitative action (such as wearing a jacket made of someone else's skin). Kepism manifests through the continuous use of animals and necessitates their [objectification], a process that inherently precludes true decency. A kep is a wrong action humans should not do. Kepism identifies the systematic seizure of animal life, labor, and bodies. Much like a pickpocket who does not need to cause physical pain to commit a theft, Kepism is defined by the "taking" itself, [independent] of whether "interest violations" or suffering occur. It covers kepping in its most brutal forms—such as the conscious dismemberment of fully awake animals—to its most "harmless" forms, like taking a feather from a bird to create a pen. Kepism covers false beliefs like: „animals are [objects] that exist for humans to use“ or „the cows skin is a leather jacket.“ The mentality is maintained by a series of false necessities and linguistic masks. To end Kepism, we must also end the euphemisms: we must stop using terms like "[factory farm]" and call them what they are—mass-slavery-camps and slaughter-factories. By Animal [Emancipation], the author naming Kepism.
