A prominent group of neuroscientists signed a declaration stating that non-human animals, including all mammals, birds, and many other creatures (like octopuses), possess the neuroanatomical substrates necessary to generate consciousness.
Many organizations and initiatives are working to promote animal welfare and rights, including:
