Hey #CriticalAnimalStudies people. I’m looing for a nice academic source that argues that our failure to see nonhuman animals as sentient individuals is a major cause of the ecological crisis or that the only way to solve the crisis is to recognise them as such, or something to that effect?

We’re breeding far too many ‘pets’ into existence, marketing them as children’s toys and trivialising ‘ownership’. Under capitalism, sentient beings have become commodities, mass produced and often disposable with little regard to environmental costs.

"Dogs catch many types of wildlife and can injure or kill them. Their scent and droppings scare smaller animals. Then there’s the huge environmental cost of feeding these carnivores and the sheer quantity of their poo. We love our pet dogs, but they come with a very real cost."

We don’t want to admit it, but our beloved pet dogs do a lot of environmental damage, from killing or terrifying wildlife to emissions from pet food.
