Sentience is the only logical foundation for ethics. @JonNugentPhoto1
Speciesamused

Principles of humanism extended beyond humans. @Dan_Ouka_Writes
Dominique Ghijselinck
Humanity should come out of the human-centric bubble. However, too often animals are viewed with partisan sentimentality or ignorant disregard, as economic utility or nuisances. I think we need to […]
