The Sentientists

The Sentientists is a movement that advocates for extending moral consideration and ethical treatment to all sentient beings—those capable of experiencing feelings like pleasure or pain—regardless of species. They believe that the capacity for consciousness and subjective experience should be the basis for moral concern, leading to efforts that promote animal welfare, reduce suffering, and re-examine human-centered views. The movement combines philosophy, science, and activism to foster empathy toward all sentient life and encourages policies that respect their intrinsic worth.
