I believe all animals should be treated with dignity, protected by law, and valued by society. I will respect the lives of animals and encourage others to do the same. Human exceptionalism is a myth and so is anthropocentricism. Compassion is the greatest virtue.
Life is the rarest, most precious & enduring force in the universe and it must accordingly be dignified. In the pursuit of progress, by virtue of our cognitive abilities, we must ensure a world wherein all living beings can coexist peacefully and lead happy, meaningful lives away from suffering.
Sustainable living is no longer a thought for the future, it is a necessity for the present. Ecological balance that has been damaged through centuries of industrial damage ought to be restored.
I am a moral naturalist, by extension of which I hold firm belief in negative utilitarianism.
