Animals Are Conscious
LS-019-11-10-2023
Animals are generally considered to be sentient beings. Sentience refers to the capacity to have subjective experiences, sensations, and emotions. Many animals, including mammals, birds, and certain species of fish and invertebrates, have been observed to exhibit various forms of sentience. They can experience pleasure, pain, fear, joy, and other emotions.
As of November 2019, 32 countries have formally recognized non-human animal sentience. These are: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
