I haven't heard the "it's legal" argument in a long time and find the law to be such a completely separate concept that I don't even know where to begin.

Old-speciesists have a rights view of at least some humans but a utilitarian view of nonhumans (18). In some sense, of course, many (perhaps most) humans don't know right from wrong.
