Apologies if you've already seen this - but I really enjoyed this conversation with Jordi Casamitjana as the pilot episode of Vegan FTA's "Vegan Reflections" series. Jordi was my guest back on Sentientism episode 104 so it was fun to have him turn the tables: https://youtu.be/LHJQ8L3YIOQ As ever - I'm only one Sentientist so these are personal views not some canonical representation of Sentientism! All Sentientists will disagree with me on something :)

Questioning Veganism - What Counts as an Animal and What Role Do Engineers Play?

"One Rights" - A fascinating proposal for a new approach to human animal and non-human animal rights by Saskia Stucki. Based in part on a recognition of #sentience. It's academic - but readable. And it's open access (i.e. free!) https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-19201-2
SpringerLink
One Rights: Human and Animal Rights in the Anthropocene
This open access book brings together the disparate discourses of human and animal rights, and looks at emerging animal rights as new human rights.
Has #Humanism become just another dogma? Or can it keep moving and improving?

It's encouraging to see mainstream social justice organisations taking on non-human animal causes... Maybe it's one easy step to go from referring to farming octopuses as "torture" to doing the same for all farming of sentient beings? https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ban_octopus_farming_22_sl/
