Il cervello degli animali è stato sottovalutato. Questi scienziati affermano che il tema della consapevolezza animale dev’essere rivalutato e studiato.

Which animals have the capacity for conscious experience? While much uncertainty remains, some points of wide agreement have emerged.First, there is strong scientific support for attributions of conscious experience to other mammals and to birds.

Second, the empirical evidence indicates at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience in all vertebrates (including reptiles, amphibians, and fishes) and many invertebrates (including, at minimum, cephalopod mollusks, decapod crustaceans, and insects).

Third, when there is a realistic possibility of conscious experience in an animal, it is irresponsible to ignore that possibility in decisions affecting that animal. We should consider welfare risks and use the evidence to inform our responses to these risks.
