At Animal Ethics, we seek a world where all sentient beings receive full moral consideration. To achieve this, we work to change attitudes toward them, educating and influencing key stakeholders — academics, students, and animal advocates — about speciesism and the moral significance of sentience. We believe that this will lead to better treatment of sentient beings as individuals, regardless of future societal structures.
With this goal in mind, in 2025, we will launch new materials that focus on key areas with long-term implications for wild and farmed animals:
·⠀Antispeciesism and sentience as the criterion for moral consideration
·⠀Wild animals
·⠀Insect farming
·⠀Aquatic animal farming
·⠀Animals who will live in the future
We’re launching several audiovisual projects. Here is a preview of the major ones:
Seantience, a documentary on aquatic animals. Our main project is a 30-minute documentary exploring the sentience of aquatic animals. The film will provide compelling evidence about the experiences of marine animals and shed light on the suffering they endure in fisheries, aquaculture, and wild environments.
Our wild animal suffering video course, now in Hindi. Recognizing the importance of spreading the consideration of animals globally, we’re prioritizing outreach in Asian countries. A significant milestone this year will be publishing our wild animal suffering video course in Hindi, a language that has 600 million speakers in India, enabling us to reach new audiences and perspectives.
This year we will create multimedia materials on how emerging technologies can potentially impact exploited and wild animals, both positively and negatively.
We will also expand our accessibility this year by releasing our website in Japanese, which will bring us to 13 languages. This will allow us to reach an audience of 130 million speakers of this language.
Of course, we will continue with our current projects, such as the online courses we teach in partnership with several universities in Brazil. They are free and open to the community in general. We will also continue to promote the growth of the Teacher Network that we run in collaboration with Aula Animal, providing information on activities in the field of education in the Spanish-speaking world on respect for animals. We will continue with our talks around the world about the most important and neglected issues in animal advocacy, such as anti-speciesism, the suffering of wild animals, and insect and aquatic animal farming. Do not miss our recent online talk about wild animals!
As always, we’ll keep active on social media and YouTube to educate on all these important issues. Be sure to visit our channels and spread the word about our content!
Animals are relegated to the lowest position when it comes to the consideration of others. In recent decades, the animal advocacy movement has come a long way in recognizing that animals deserve respect and protection, but there is still far to go in terms of both attitudes and actions. Please support us to continue working for a better future for animals!
