This category examines how animals—feeling, thinking beings—are affected by the systems we build and the beliefs we uphold. Across industries and cultures, animals are treated not as individuals, but as units of production, entertainment, or research. Their emotional lives are ignored, their voices silenced. Through this section, we begin to unlearn those assumptions and rediscover animals as sentient lives: capable of affection, suffering, curiosity, and connection. It’s a reintroduction to the ones we’ve learned not to see.
The subcategories within this section provide a multi-layered view of how harm is normalized and institutionalized. Animal Sentience challenges us to recognize the inner lives of animals and the science that supports it. Animal Welfare and Rights questions our moral frameworks and highlights movements for reform and liberation. Factory Farming exposes one of the most brutal systems of mass animal exploitation—where efficiency overrides empathy. In Issues, we trace the many forms of cruelty embedded in human practices—from cages and chains to lab tests and slaughterhouses—revealing how deeply these injustices run.
Yet the purpose of this section is not only to expose cruelty—but to open a path toward compassion, responsibility, and change. When we acknowledge the sentience of animals and the systems that harm them, we also gain the power to choose differently. It’s an invitation to shift our perspective—from dominance to respect, from harm to harmony.
Factory farming, a cornerstone of modern food production, comes with an unsettling price: the widespread suffering of animals. Beneath the promise of affordable and convenient meat, dairy, and eggs lies a system that prioritizes profit over animal welfare. From extreme confinement in gestation crates and battery cages to painful procedures performed without anesthesia, factory farms subject animals to unimaginable cruelty. Overcrowded transport trucks and unsanitary living conditions further compound their distress. As consumers increasingly demand transparency in food systems, it’s crucial to uncover the hidden realities behind industrial farming practices—shedding light on the ethical cost of convenience and advocating for a more compassionate future for all living beings
