A Universal Declaration on Animal Sentience: No Pretending

(Before It's News)

We have had ample data for a long time to declare other animals are sentient beings. In this essay I urge that we accept a Universal Declaration on Animal Sentience and stop pretending we don't really know if animals are sentient or that we don't know what they want and need. Facts show they want to live in peace and safety and absent fear, pain, and suffering, like us.
