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.
Trapped in sterile cages and subjected to painful experiments, millions of animals endure unimaginable suffering in the name of science and product safety. This controversial practice not only raises serious ethical concerns but also falls short due to the biological differences between humans and animals, leading to unreliable results. With cutting-edge alternatives like in vitro testing and advanced computer simulations offering more accurate, humane solutions, it’s clear that the era of animal testing must come to an end. In this article, we expose the cruelty behind animal testing, examine its flaws, and advocate for innovative methods that prioritise compassion without compromising progress
