I think its more about how we do treat these animals - slaughterhouses and factory farms and all that. Plus senseless killing.
 For me personally, I do not think humans should not kill any other being - life and death are sisters. All other animals kill as well - they eat or use others for their offspring, their homes. But no other species I know of kills the same way as humans do - on a massive industrial scale after a lot of suffering and in some cases for fashion or fun even. Speciesism is to me like racism or sexism in definition. It makes a difference if someone employs a person of african descent just like any other person, if one desires love with a partner - or if one treats the other like a "negro" or a "****". So I also would make that distinction between treating other species respectful, as having a value by themselves and take only what I need - or to abuse them. In any case - that installation/protest is a pretty strong image...
