Animal sentience is valid
This conference will explore the latest scientific knowledge on the sentiency and learning abilities of non-human animals. Speakers and delegates include some of the world’s leading experts in animal and veterinary science, agriculture, conservation, food supply, retailing, government policy, education, philosophy and ethics.
It is unfortunate that Fordyce Maxwell chose to trivialise these issues, which have become increasingly important to governments, scientists and consumers alike.
