Hey Para,
I think the word you're looking for is speciesism. Though similar, using the word racism only confuses people who don't know any better.
Speciesism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Speciesism (also referred to as human supremacism) involves the assignment of different values, rights, or special consideration to individuals solely on the basis of their species membership. The term is mostly used by animal rights advocates, who argue that speciesism is a prejudice similar to racism or sexism, in that the treatment of individuals is predicated on group membership and morally irrelevant physical differences. The argument is that species membership has no moral significance.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciesism#cite_note-2
