Ever since I looked at the dictionary definition of the word, I have thought animals had sentience. It just means the thing has senses and some awareness of the world around them. Yet it's more commonly used to describe the difference between humans and non-humans, which is what the word "sapience" is supposed to mean. It's like at some point, we started using the wrong word.

You could have "own kill" laws, then you'd have lots of new vegetarians, some small farmers, and some newly discovered psychopaths.

Hear, hear!

I signed it but I don't really get what's the goal here other than rectifying a minor semantic issue
