"Stop specism"
Specism is the act of placing higher moral or ethical value on one species over others. It is done in the laboratory animal field all the time. In fact, it is a requirement to view animal work in this way. Federal law requires that researchers consider the concept of refinement when using laboratory animals: one aspect of refinement is using animals lower on the phylogenetic scale (e.g., using mice instead of rabbits, rabbits instead of cats, cats instead of non-human primates).
