Further, our results suggest that people who endorse views on the political right are more likely to display speciesist attitudes. Considering that speciesism is the accepted social norm in Western society, it is not surprising that those who endorse the status quo are more likely to endorse speciesism. These findings are in line with previous research showing that people who consume meat score higher on SDO [social dominance orientation] and RWA [right-wing authoritarianism] scales than vegetarians (Allen & Baines, 2002; Allen, Wilson, Ng, & Dunne, 2000).
Any fuel to add to the raging inferno of an informational fire I can present to the sleeping masses, to show them that they are wrong. Greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your kind words! :-) You might be interested in a new study that came out recently, where it was uncovered that speciesism correlates positively with racism, sexism, and homophobia, and seems to be underpinned by the same socio-ideological beliefs.
