Kritika Singh
Sentientism because we need to respect all lives on earth equally and nurture life. Sentientism because our relationship with the animals decide our relationship with ourselves, and the planet. itskritikal.com […]

Principles of humanism extended beyond humans. @Dan_Ouka_Writes

Amy Williams
Because we all share a common ancestor and common instincts and biological machinery. To pretend we are very different from our fellow earthlings, particularly other mammals, is hubris.
