Le spécisme conduit à accorder moins d'importance aux intérêts des animaux non humains par rapport à ceux des humains. On peut aussi ranger sous ce terme la préférence pour certains animaux (les animaux de compagnie) par rapport à d'autres (les animaux d'élevage) qui conduit par exemple à manger du cochon mais pas du chien. 2, record 1, French, - sp%C3%A9cisme
