I don't believe other animals are sentient! Or at least, I don't believe other animals have a sense of self. Or an awareness of self. I believe all living things wish to survive and breed. To insure survival they will react to pain and dangerous situations. That doesn't make them sentient. It mearly make them alive. What it does, is evoke pity(a human emotion) from us because we can see that pain. And we know pain hurts. I maintain that animal rights advocates are anthromorphizing different species by applying human emotions onto animals.



Do you believe human beings are sentient? We cannot prove it.

This is an animal WELFARE group on sentience: https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3014747.stm
