Beyond-Human Persons Need Our Allyship. They Are More Than Just “Animals.”

The dog in this picture reminds me of my sister Cloe, who I will always miss. Thank you to Patrick Hendry on Unsplash for your photography.

I suppose I should be a good writer and tell you a story about a dog. Humans love dogs, right? I could warm the reader’s heart right up with those moments we realize how sensitive and individual a dog being is. It is only good sense that so many nonhuman animals are just as sentient and worth protecting.
