Clare Harris
I think that subjective experiences matter, and suffering is wrong, no matter who or “what” experiences it. @ClareDHarris
Jon Nugent
Sentience is the only logical foundation for ethics. @JonNugentPhoto1
Speciesamused
We are not the superior animal just because we believe it is so. Too few humans acknowledge we are all animals. I am Vegan on their behalf. @speciesamused
Daniel Ouka
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 […]
Ariana Williams
All animals think and feel whether an ant or elephant, shark or lobster. We are not outside of the animal kingdom, we are part of it.
Rem Secora Pearl

Lisa Musgrove
Acknowledging sentience and the ability to suffer in all beings, is just the first step towards a fair and decent world. We must also do everything we can to prevent […]

Jennifer Greene
Because I care about what’s true and what’s fair, and would hasten the day when it’s the norm to take seriously the interests of sentient beings, human and otherwise.

Jared Conahan
All the sentient creatures of the earth are deserving of equal treatment. We are born of the same family and it is beyond unethical for one species to lay waste […]
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.
Cindy Butler Mancini, Ph.D.

Irene Theochari
I’m a sentientist because I believe that non-human animals have the same right to freedom from enslavement, exploitation and torture, as human animals. They have the same capacity for pleasure […]

Jaron Hall
*Everything* we care about begins at the conscious subjective experience. It is the case that a subjective experience avoids pain, so it is the case we must seek to avoid […]
Josh Milburn
“I am a sentientist because I recognise that all sentient beings have a life that can go better and worse for them. This is enough for us to recognise that […]

I am a sentientist because I spend almost all my life observing animals, so I have no doubts about their sentience. My question is: now that evidence from science, reasoning, […]
Salanieta Koro
I think… therefore I am a sentientist. Salanieta on FaceBook
Stijn Bruers
“Sentientism means that we should take into account all and everyone’s positive and negative feelings, without arbitrary exceptions. No-one and nothing can consistently or reasonably object to sentientism, because disagreeing […]
