"All censorship should be deplored. When people put their thumbs on the scale and try to say what can and can't be sent, we should fight back both through protest and through software." Reddit Cofounder Aaron Swartz (1986-2013)

On this subreddit we gather evidence that animals are conscious, like us.

Some examples of what we're looking for:

Mammals have a really good memory
Some orangutans learn how to fish
This dog knows he's at the vet

Having such good memories means they remember their suffering.
For instance, these cows are happy for returning to the pasture after a long winter.

Emotionally mammals are very developed, like us.
They share with us many of our feelings, such as fear and love.

Their emotions can be every bit as troubling as ours.
They can be depressed so much they won't even eat!

Even our distant relatives, the cetaceans are very aware and very playful fellows.
This Humpback Whale, for instance, realizes she's been saved from a fishing net and lets her rescuers know she is thankful.

Non-mammal animals on the other hand appear to be quite different from us, but birds always find ways to puzzle us.
Apparently they like to have fun!
The crow is probably the smartest bird there is!

Birds in general are very aware of what their peers are doing.

Evidence is everywhere... yet no one seems to care...

Everytime you find evidence remember to share with us.

Trigger warning: a story

This is a story about something that happened to a cat. It makes me sad every time I think about it. I found this board and it made me think about it again.

It was a cold winter day. I was going to work and had just gotten off the bus. I saw a cat that I knew belonged to one of the neighbors where I was working at the time. She was lying down in quite deep layers of snow. My first thought was that there must be something wrong with her; in no way would the cat choose to sleep there.

I lifted her up, and the cat was making painful meows. I took her to work and gave her some water and food in a closed room. Then I went to knock on her owner's home, but nobody was home. When I got back to check on the cat, she hadn't moved an inch but looked exhausted. I managed to reach them by finding their phone number and told them something was wrong with their cat.

They came as soon as they could, getting off work just to check up on their cat. This part is what got me. They opened the door to get her, and she saw her owner and started crawling towards her owner with only her front legs, her back legs were limp. She cried out like I had never heard a cat cry before. It sounded like she seeked comfort from her owner. It was a cry for help. Sounded like happy fear and help at the same time. And she couldnt stop crying for help when he got her. He took the car and went to vet.

Unfortunately, the damage was not recoverable, and they had to put the cat down. She had broken everything from her midsection down. Sorry, this just made me cry again, but I'm sure she's in cat heaven now. Her behavior taught me something about pets: cats are not fearless, even though they behave as if they have nine lives. They also need comfort when scared.
