This petition is the beginning of a movement to recognize the scientific consciousness and rights of sentient organisms universally.
With the advancing degradation of global ecosystems due to world economics, an international standard of sentience for animals must be established in order to grant universal rights for the protection and preservation of such organisms.
With recommendations to be overseen by the WVA, Oceana, NWF and more organizations, this metric rating will help advance legal precedence for animal conservation around the world via American precedence.
