"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

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?
