We expect animal rights publications to do pieces on animal rights... But maybe it's an even more powerful sign of change when "human rights" publications start publishing them? Thanks OpenGlobalRights for your new "Justice for Animals" Up Close series:
www.openglobalrights.org/up-close/justice-for-animals/#up-close
And going back a while of course #sentientrights: https://www.openglobalrights.org/from-human-rights-to-sentient-rights-the-next-generation-of-rights-thinking/
The basis for #HumanRights is our #sentience - our capacity to experience... to suffer or flourish.
That's why we should have #SentientRights:
