Should Animals Thank Farmers For Their Existence?
Jamie Woodhouse questions the logic of “the logic of the larder” – the view that it is better to bring animals into the world to kill them eg in animal agriculture, rather than those animals not being brought into existence at all. The show also features…

Is #Humanism really the future?
Interesting talk about the likely future of religious / spiritual / supernatural belief vs. Humanism / atheism as rough stand-ins for naturalistic epistemology. It's focused mostly on Eur/NA and the UK - but there are some comments on the global picture too.
Yes I've left a comment pointing out that Humanism won't be "the future" unless it drops #anthropocentrism. This talk - as with nearly all Humanist content - doesn't mention non-human sentients.

We expect animal rights publications to cover animal rights... But maybe it's an even more powerful sign of positive change when "human rights" publications start publishing more about non-human animal rights? Good to see OpenGlobalRights with their new "Justice for Animals" Up Close series:

Justice for Animals
Humans have decried cruelty towards animals for millennia, but this rhetoric has not translated into protection: Institutions like factory farming and poaching, as well as human domination of the planet, have caused untold suffering. Simultaneously, research…
Some worry that #Sentientism's #sentiocentric moral scope is "picking a characteristic as moral qualifier". We know how badly that can go wrong.
Does this angle help?: Our morality should consider the perspectives of all others who value their own perspectives.
We might use a similar approach when considering rights? Instead of asking "who has rights?" we could recognise every entity has rights. Of course, each entity should have rights that align with their interests. (And yes - very many entities don't have interests at all).

Sentientism
Sentientists have compassion for every sentient being — human, animal or even artificial — and use evidence and reason to find answers to moral questions.
One day soon all pro-science, curious, rational, #skeptic & #Humanist platforms and thinkers will drop their #anthropocentrism & adopt #sentientism's "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings".
