Why cruelty?

Everyone should be judged not by the circumstances of their birth, but by the pattern of their mind. Anything that can experience, that can suffer, has moral weight to its existence.

I believe in non-violence (ahimsa) as a key philosophy and the shortcut to world peace. I am a sentientist because I have compassion for all beings and do not exploit or abuse animals for greed or ignorance. I can only hope that this philosophy expands and we manifest a utopian dimension of peace.

@NEO10Y

Because treat others the way you want to be treated.

I am an associate professor of Philosophy at Dalhousie University (Andrew at Dalhousie). My areas of specialization are in animal (bio)ethics, naturalized epistemology, neuroethics, and the philosophy of animal behaviour and cognition. I am interested in how deepening scientific understanding of the psychological capacities of various nonhuman animals should change philosophical discussions of their knowledge (beyond a simple reliabilism), agency (including their consent and dissent capacities) and treatment in captivity (primarily in laboratories).

All is one and all beings deserve the freedom to flourish.

If our ability to suffer doesn’t count for anything, then we could cause the greatest pain/suffering and yet not be held accountable. What decent morality maximizes suffering?

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.

I’m a sentientist as excluding anyone’s suffering from moral consideration will always be arbitrary. Hence, the interests of all sentient beings deserve equal consideration.

@JosephLabour

As someone who is personally against bigotry, speciesism seems like a combination of racism, sexism, and ableism combined. I see no reason why someone that has the mental capabilities of a 3-5 year old (ex, pigs) should be treated the way they are simply because they have a body that does not look like a monkey, as ours does. If monkeys (homo sapiens) deserve rights and to live (as I believe they do) free of discrimination despite mental or physical differences, then why is someone to be judged on their worth for having feathers or hooves when we’ve already determined that judging someone on their bodily abilities and appearance is not justification for denying them personhood rights? It would be ethically inconsistent to be speciesist while claiming to be antiracist, antisexist, and/or antiableist.

See the famous Bentham quote. What matters is can they feel.

@DavidCMcLean1

Ethical reason, cannot justify speciesism.

Because the needs of sentient beings, their freedom and the continued existence of sentient life are the are the only aspects one can build a reasonable framework of ethics upon.

Love and compassion for all sentient beings.

Harm Not for All

I care deeply about both rationality and ethics. My ethical foundation is exactly identical to the fundamental tenants of Sentientism. My conclusions and my ethics as a whole seem to differ slightly, but we start from a very similar set of principles.
