#sentientism — Public Fediverse posts

At the end of the day, it's not about our diet. It's about the fact that non-human animals are individuals, too, who want to live. The same things that give humans intrinsic dignity also apply to other animals with brains and nervous systems.

I would like to find some other way of referring to them besides "non-human" animals... humans are animals, too, so it's logical. But if we've seen other ideas, please let me know. I want to decentralize the human and not collectivize everyone else.

It's less about "veganism" and who is "vegan" and more about... are we recognizing animals' intrinsic dignity and will to live, and are we willing to take steps to put that into action.

Centering their lives, not our own comforts and desires. Because we're capable of the added reflection, we have this moral duty to use such knowledge and put it into practice. If we don't, we're wasting this faculty.

Tiny update: We've got some good names following us on the new Instagram page now: Jeff Sebo, Faraz Harsini, Kim Stallwood, Sentientism, French, US, UK and AUS animal legal defense groups.

If you also have an IG page, we'd love an extra follow to help set it up:

[at] animalcognitionproject

Our next steps are planning some book reviews/ interviews in addition to some of the leadership profiles we're writing.

But lots of other ideas stewing. I just want to focus on getting a small base on these platforms and then we'll just move our focus over
