The idea that humans have better access to decent quality healthcare and health insurance, have more access to certain cities, towns, counties, and countries, and issues greatly affecting them are prioritized more frequently in political agendas, regardless of the political identity of those in power, than those affecting other species, despite how some of them can negatively impact the health of a large number of people. Hence, being human can at times be a source of privilege.
Karen: My dad had to go to hospital the other day. It took me five to seven minutes to find a hospital to take him to, which surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to take that long to find him a hospital.
Aaron: I glad you were able to find one in time. You're lucky believe it or not. According to what I heard at one point, it can take up to twenty to twenty five minutes to find an animal hospital that is open twenty-four hours a day. A lot of people often don't realize just how much more accessible and high quality the human healthcare system compared to the animal healthcare system. Its a major example of human privilege.
Karen: In that case you are right, I was very lucky.

Something that actually exists
Tristan: You know how some people bring up this so-called "White Privilege" and "Black Privilege"
Emily: Yes, I do, what about it?
Tristan: They are complete crap and they should really be going with Human Privilege if they want to talk about such things, since it actually exists, right?
Emily: Yes to both, 100%.
