Although sceptical about the capacities of human reason – and the notion of “reason” itself – it appears evident that, alongside humans, nonhuman animals are sentient. Based on this belief, coupled with a rejection of (or ongoing attempt to reject) delusional and destructive anthropocentrism, I feel the least we can do as human beings is behave benignly and with humility toward our fellow animals (nonhuman and human) and the environments in which they and we live. The practice of veganism is indispensable in this connection.
