    Recognize Non-Humans' Sentience

    The ASPCA is gathering signatures on an worldwide petition to recognize non-human
    animals as sentient beings. You'll be asked for the usual identifying information,
    and then there will be a field titled "Why Animals Matter to Me." Why this petition matters
    to me: Several years ago my very beloved cat sister was kidnapped. I tracked
    the kidnapper, got his license plate number and gave it to the police. They
    couldn't get a search warrant because--get this--the kidnapper's crime
    was considered only "petty theft." So my sister died slowly and painfully
    from kidney disease, possibly wondering why i didn't come and save her.
    With sentience acknowledged, we might change this law.

    Thanks for working for those who can't -- very special, I voted and thought you should know.
