What do animals feel? Mike has a discussion on sentience with Dr Georgia Mason, Director of the Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare. We make individual and societal decisions on seafood and livestock product consumption based on our perceptions of animals. Georgia provides an overview of the state of the science on sentience and some perspectives on implication for welfare. We can and do make different decisions but an understanding of the basics can inform those decisions. They talk about aquaculture and insects which may be the next key areas for discussion.
