The Animal Liberation Philosophy

Animal Liberation philosophy advocates for the equal consideration of all sentient beings’ interests, challenging the view that humans have the right to use animals for food, clothing, or experimentation solely because of species membership. It emphasizes that animals are capable of experiencing pain, pleasure, and suffering, deserving moral respect. The philosophy calls for ending practices that exploit animals and promotes adopting humane, non-exploitative ways of coexisting. Overall, it promotes empathy and moral consistency, urging society to recognize animals’ intrinsic value and to extend ethical treatment beyond humans.
