Something that for me, as animal ethicist, was always very clear. Animals have a conscious life.
Consciousness, in its most basic form, probably is something very simple and nothing only "higher animals" have. Probably all vertebrales and non-vertebrates have some form of consciousness.
The typical human opinion on it is much too arrogant and egoistic
❗ So what we need are basic general rights for all conscious life ❗
