Why should speciesism directed against one group of animals be offset against speciesism directed against another group of animals?
Examples: horses > classic “farm animals” – “zoo animals” > wild animal species > “farm animals” – different species are often confronted with different speciesisms. There is no point in comparing one form of speciesism with another in the hope of sensitizing humans: all non-human animals suffer from forms of speciesism.
Antispeciesist Animal Sociology
Objectifying nonhuman animals takes various forms:
– in legal terms nonhumans are classified as property
– in religious terms the separation is being made spiritually, man is preferred and given the right to dominate all that is on earth
– philosophical schools may give an array of different reasons for why whichever form of speciesism might be ethically sound or a right view to maintain
– the natural sciences differentiate between beings driven by instinct, the lower forms of life, the higher forms and man with the supposedly most complex make up of mind and brain.
– carnism could be said to be a term for one form of speciesism that classifies domesticated farm animals only (or finally, as in the case of horses and some exotic animals that are eaten, such as ostriches) as “meat” or suppliers of food.
– pets on the other side are, in spite of being loved by our society, also affected by speciesist views on them.
– wild animals are forced to make up the object for hunters and hunting culture’s needs to re-exercise continuously the idea of a primeval and supposedly ideal condition of man as the hunter and gatherer.
– but also wild animals are affected by argumentations that target them in terms of whether they are intrusive species or should be seen as protectable.
For every animal species we seem to get one or more forms of speciesist views, classifications, argumentations. In every aspect that defines the human view on his or her environment, we seem to come across a derogative stance on nonhumans.
When we discuss speciesism we should bear in mind how complex and difficult to analyze the subjugative view on animal life is in our cultures and societies.

Warum sollte man Speziesismus, der sich gegen bestimmte Gruppen von Tieren richtet, aufrechnen mit Speziesismen, die sich gegen eine andere Gruppe von Tieren richten?
Beispiele: Pferde > klassische „Farmtiere“ – „Zootiere“ > wildlebende Tierarten > „Farmtiere“ – verschiedene Spezies sind häufig mit unterschiedlichen Speziesismen konfrontiert. Es hat keinen Sinn, die eine Form von Speziesismus mit der anderen zu verrechnen, in der Hoffnung, man würde Menschen dadurch sensibilisieren: Alle nichtmenschlichen Tiere leiden unter Formen von Speziesismus.
