Most people seem to believe that it is wrong to cause needless suffering and death to non-human animals, and yet most people also contribute to the needless suffering and death of a great many animals. If speciesism is understood as a psychological prejudice-the tendency of an individual human agent to disregard the interests of animals-then this fact is extremely difficult to explain. I argue that once speciesism is understood structurally-as a matter of injustice rather than a matter of interpersonal wrongdoing or individual prejudice-the project of explaining how so many humans are implicated in animal suffering becomes much more tractable. Drawing on the work of feminist theorists such as Sally Haslanger and Catharine MacKinnon, I suggest a way of reconceiving the question of the moral status of animals as a political question about the construction of animals and animality through our social, cultural, legal, and linguistic practices
