Mandates

"Science is showing how other animals are like us in morally relevant ways, but unlike us in medically relevant ways. Now that we are proving that other animals are indeed sentient beings with complex and rich emotional and cognitive lives, it's time for us to change our moral view and demand a more just approach to our relationship with other animals. The accumulating evidence mandates that we cannot continue to hide behind the veil of science to justify our exploitation of other animals for medical experiments."
