Compassion for animals.

As a sentient being myself, I’d say I’m proudly a Sentientist. “Social oppression needs animals oppression” Realizing the roots cause of every social justice’s problem is the idea some species are better than the others. We always have moral obligation to do better for human animals and non human animals. Free them, Free Us, Free ALL

I believe our views should be based on naturalistic exploration of our universe, and that the most rational foundation for morality is the suffering and flourishing of sentient beings.

Humans have evolved to the most advanced order of Primates we are naturally sentient

Because I’m sentient, and I think that is the most ethical way forward.

Because humans are not above nature, we are nature and therefore must protect it. All living beings have a soul, even plants.

Ahimsa- lowest possible suffering for all sentient beings. You explain it very well.

Self-awareness at the molecular level seems intuitively obvious – the universe is a self-aware entity, studying itself through the experience of “being” in all our various forms.

I’m a Sentientist because its what makes sense and we will need this shift if we are to survive as a species

I’m a Sentientist because a being’s physical differences from us or its intellectual capabilities do not matter for how I should treat them. The only relevant consideration is their sentience – I believe that anyone who has spent any time caring for animals knows this at some level.
