Because we are more alike than not. I welcome my robot overlords as long as they are nice to my dogs.

All animals—and all beings that can feel—deserve compassion. No matter how hard it is for us, no matter how many of our behaviors we need to change, we must learn to treat other beings how we wish to be treated.

The future is Vegan. Animals are here WITH us not FOR us.

Logic has brought me to the conclusion that Sentientism is the best philosophy to heal the earth & all beings.

I found out about Sentientism yesterday! And realize I have been adopting this philosophy and developing my way of life since I was a child. First kindness and respect for all animals leading quickly to vegetarianism, later veganism; early Christianity to atheism at 13. This is the way of relating to and moving within the universe that makes sense and feels ethically comfortable.

Where there is sentience there is an experience that matters.

Before I had heard the term ‘Sentientism’ I had already been involved in animal rights and have loved science for as long as I can remember. I hope that during my lifetime, ‘Sentientism’ becomes a normalised term in the public sphere for rational, compassionate people – or at least those of us who strive to that ideal.

Sentientism matches my philosophical perspective most accurately. All sentient beings deserve our moral consideration.

Not a choice. I’ve experienced a lot of trauma and loss in my life which has made me extremely sensitive to all suffering. I’ve been vegetarian for over a year but eating vegan since summer.

I am an animal rights author, independent scholar, consultant, and speaker. I have 45 years of personal commitment as a vegan and professional experience in leadership positions with some of the world’s foremost animal advocacy organisations. The Kim Stallwood Archive is held by The British Library. I wrote Growl: Life Lessons, Hard Truths, and Bold Strategies from an Animal Advocate with a Foreword by Brian May (Lantern Books, 2014). I am currently working on the biography of an elephant called Topsy. I became a vegetarian in 1974 after working in a chicken slaughterhouse and a vegan in 1976.

Why not?

The cruel phenomena that is unwarrantedly perpetuated to sentient beings; known as suffering, is the most tragic thing that has ever happened in this universe.

“Nothing is more important than the abolition of suffering in the universe. I believe we can derive meaning and purpose from working to secure our most basic needs and desires, and those of all other sentient beings: to live as long as life is worth living, to avoid suffering, and to pursue our idea of happiness. I created a life philosophy based on this idea: liberationism.org — and sentientism is in line with this view. With solidarity and unconditional compassion for all fellow sufferers.” — BPE.

Because in order to work together to make the world a better place, we need to first agree on what it means to make the world a better place.
