You know what we need help with? We need help correcting the implicit views many have that, e.g., we shouldn't be caring for nonhumans until everything is perfect and fair with/for humans - or something like that.

As if it's wrong to be "doing justice out of order" or as if we're trespassing on the Sacred Order of Things by "treating animals first" or something similar. This is just more speciesism, the same problem that causes the injustice in the first place.

I personally like the Kantian counter-argument to this, which is basically that if we start measuring or comparing dignity, it is no longer intrinsic, and we lose it for ourselves, too.
