The New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness, which I have signed, although after it was launched April 19th (I was not among the initial signatories), has been getting extensive media coverage in major news outlets, most of it before my signature was added to the list of signatories on April 23rd. This includes:
Scientists push new paradigm of animal consciousness, saying even insects may be sentient (NBC News, April 19th)
It’s ‘irresponsible’ to ignore widespread consciousness across animal world, dozens of scientists argue (The Hill, April 19th)
Consciousness a ‘realistic possibility’ in birds, fish, squid and bees, scholars say (The Globe and Mail, April 22nd)
Scientists believe insects may have feelings (BBC, April 22nd)
Some scientists say insects are conscious – it doesn't settle anything (New Scientist, April 23rd - paywall)
