"I would call a person "racist in consequence", a Prejudiced Person."



I think there is a difference between a prejudiced person. Even though all racists are prejudiced persons, not all prejudiced persons are racists.

I would call a person "racist in consequence", a plain out racist, but in talking about animals I find fishing for words more difficult.





"Speciesism" rings nice in my ear but this term is already spoken for by the AR movement, meaning, assigning different values or rights to beings on the basis of their species membership.

"Animalism" also sounds nice but it is also taken, a fictional economic or political ideology in George Orwell's novel Animal Farm.

In other places I have heard other names of AR activists. Often different countries will have different nicknames for their favorite AR activists but I haven´t found an english word which describes a person who hates people who live with animals.

I think we should coin an entirely new new word for this. any suggestions?
