Speciesism

Speciesism or specism refers to the differing treatment or moral consideration of individuals based on their species membership. This involves treating members of one species as morally more important than members of other species in the context of their similar interests.

This ideology is very common among humans and, theoretically, most other sapient species. However their are some people who do indeed have moral or religious ideas which go against the idea of speciesism.

History
The term first appeared during a protest against animal experimentation in 1970. Philosophers and animal rights advocates state that speciesism plays a role in the practice of factory farming, animal slaughter, blood sports (such as bullfighting and rodeos), the taking of animals' fur and skin, and experimentation on animals. They argue speciesism is a form of discrimination, arguing that it constitutes a violation of the Golden Rule because it involves treating other beings differently to how they would want to be treated because of the species that they belong to.
