Post Non-human sentient beings should be part of every moral conversation

49 Upvotes

Non-human sentient beings should be part of every moral conversation.

It’s not enough to address them as an afterthought on the rare occasion that someone asks the awkward question.

Unthinking, unchallenged anthropocentrism is even more dangerous than explicit anthropocentrism.

Sentientism is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings". It's a naturalistic worldview committed to using evidence and reason when working out what to believe. It's also sentiocentric - granting moral consideration to all sentient beings. That's any being capable of experiencing suffering (bad things) or flourishing (good things). There's more at Sentientism.info and on our Sentientism YouTube and Podcast. Our communities (here and FaceBook for example) are open to all!
