"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)

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.

Walruses can whistle!
Walruses use whistling as a form of communication, dominance displays, contact calls, mating, and reproduction. It allows them to interact and identify each other over long distances despite their bulky bodies. Their whistles can carry for long distances over water.

Are you guys vegans?
This subreddit seems to be building evidence for animal sentience and emotional capacity but it is unclear if it is attempting to make a vegan argument or if it knows it is making one.
Veganism is the ethical philosphy that we should not exploit, commodify, or cause suffering for animals (including humans) when it is not necessary. This is often conflated with the idea of a plant based diet, which is something a vegan would practice but they are not the same thing.
So I am curious, are you vegans? If you are not vegan, why and what does frequenting this subreddit do for you?
Is this all a secrect vegan psy op to get us to eat tofu? /s
Note: the rules seem to allow discussions about philosophy but sorry If I misunderstood
