I learned a new word this week after joining a vegetarian/vegan forum. On the Vegan board, there's a thread along the lines of Dumb Things That Car Drivers Meat Eaters Say... and one poster mentioned a friend who was ranting "animals are for eating.. we're the top of the food chain." ...and the poster was upset by hearing a friend's speciesism... i guess it's like racism, but for meat-eaters.
