Speciesism
Speciesism was coined in the 1970's. It is used by animal rights activists and is usually meant as a derogatory term for humans that eat meat and is suppose to mean that humans care more about their species then they do other species, although it usually is for animals humans eat or affect on a large scale: fish to primates. The true definition is favoritism for your own species over others, so this termed can be applied to nearly every organisms humans know to exist.
When called this, the person is usually say that you use animals as entertainment, food, testing, or as pets (usually more extreme cases).
