ASPEC – 1NC Shell
A. Violation – The Affirmative fails to specify an agent of action. Rather they just say “USFG”
B. Failure to specify is illegitimate and a voting issue.
1. Ground – Specifying an agent is critical to Disads relating to the specific agent of action and Counterplans to use a different agent. The agent must be named in the plan to ensure that Counterplans compete and to maximize the value of pre-round preparation, which is essential at the beginning of the year when strategies are not fully developed.
2. Moving Target – Failure to specify an agent in the plan text allows the affirmative to shift out of 1NC arguments by allowing new 2AC clarification about the agent of action. This makes it impossible for the negative to debate because the AFF could always change their plan after they heard the 1NC arguments.

A. The affirmative’s appeal for “human rights” is fundamentally human-centric —it perpetuates and legitimizes speciesism.
Tittle ’98, Professor of Philosophy [Peg, The Humanist View of Speciesism, http://tittle.humanists.net/humview.htm]

B. We must deny the urge to align ourselves with their human-centric politics – it is an all or nothing question.

C. Vote neg to reject the 1ac —maintaining the human-non-human binary dooms them to endless cycles of subordination and violence- this is also the site of protest that we should focus on
Best ’07, Associate Professor, Departments of Humanities and Philosophy University of Texas, El Paso [Steven, Charles Patterson, The Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust New York: Lantern Books, 2002, 280 pp]
While a welcome advance over the anthropocentric conceit …within the moral boundaries of welfarism and stewardship, which however was Judaic moral baggage official Chistianithy left behind.

Capitalism is not root cause of case- they ignore specificities that affect each situation.
Geras ‘5 (Norman, Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Manchester, "The Reductions of the Left," Dissent, 52:1, Winter, p. 57-58)
