tdierikx Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 "All vertebrate animals are sentient, and that means that they have emotional experiences that matter to them," Dr Cobb says. I think one can take it as read that ALL animals are sentient (in the true meaning of the word at least, where they experience something relative to the environment they are in) - invertebrates too - but caution needs to be taken when comparing their experiences and reactions to same relative to how humans "feel" things. Animals are not human, and they do not necessarily process the world the same way we do. Recent studies have even shown that plants may be sentient too... but that's a whole different kettle of fish... errr! T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
